Word Salad – July 16, 2025
Hints
The grid gave you these starting letters and word lengths:
- C _ _ _ _ _ (6 letters)
- M _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (10 letters)
- S _ _ _ _ _ _ (7 letters)
- W _ _ _ _ (5 letters)
- M _ _ _ (4 letters)
- W _ _ _ _ _ (6 letters)
- W _ _ _ _ _ _ (7 letters)
✅ Answers
- CHEERS (6 letters)
- MUSKETEERS (10 letters)
- STRIKES (7 letters)
- WISE (4 letters)
- MEN (3 letters) – Note: A short 3‑letter word
- WISHES (6 letters)
- WITCHES (7 letters)
How I Solved It
1. Spot the common theme
Seeing CHEERS, WISE, WISHES, and WITCHES suggests a pattern: they all rhyme with “ees” or are sound-alike words.
2. Build around the -EES sound
- Starting with CHEERS, it’s easy to think of other “‑ees” words.
- WISE fits the “wise/wise” pair but is shorter and helps anchor the board.
3. Fill in the longer ones
- The 10‑letter jump was obvious when you thought of “‑eteers.” Once CHEERS was in place, MUSKETEERS fit the length, theme, and style perfectly.
- For 7 letters, STRIKES matched the pattern and grid length.
4. Complete the shorter words
- MEN popped up, completing a syllable-play pattern with “M‑??‑s.”
- WISHES and WITCHES fit right in as they rhyme with CHEERS and match both the pattern and lengths.

Word Salad – July 12, 2025
Hints
You’ll need to find 5 words, each starting with the following letters:
- C _ _ _ _
- F _ _ _ _
- L _ _ _ _
- M _ _ _ _ _
- W _ _ _ _ _ _
They all orbit around a theme related to fortune and abundance.
My Playthrough
I fired up the puzzle expecting something casual—then saw the C, F, L, M, W lineup and instantly smelled the theme: higher-level prosperity stuff. I kicked off with a guess like CASINO just to vibe with the money theme, but quickly pivoted.
Once I found out the C-word, the rest clicked faster than dropping coins in a slot machine. My mental gears were spinning around wealth, fate, and all that jazz. Felt like unlocking an achievement when the final W-word lit up—made the whole run feel legit.

How to Play Word Salad
Word Salad is a word-finding puzzle where you must uncover theme-related words hidden in a 4×4 letter grid.
Game Rules:
1️⃣ The game presents a daily theme (like “Planets” or “Zoo Animals”).
2️⃣ You must find all related words in the letter grid.
3️⃣ Once a word is found, its letters disappear, making it easier to find the next word!
4️⃣ The game ends once you’ve found all the words related to the theme.
5️⃣ You can play on the official website or the app—but keep in mind, streaks don’t transfer between platforms!
Word Salad Strategy Tips
Look for shorter words first – Finding smaller words clears out letters, making longer ones easier to spot.
Think about different word variations – If a theme is “Cities,” look for names that might be inspired by other places (like today’s puzzle!).
Use the disappearing letter trick – Once you find a word, its letters vanish—use this to narrow down where the remaining words might be.
Stick to one platform – If you care about streaks, play only on the same website or app each day!
