Griddle

How to play

Find six overlapping five-letter words. Each guess is scored against all six words at once.

• You have 10 guesses. Six is the theoretical minimum.
• Green means the letter is correct in that square and remains locked.
• Yellow means the selected guess contains a letter that belongs elsewhere in one or more words through that square.
• Yellow hints belong only to the selected numbered guess. Select an earlier number to compare its clues.
• A yellow hint appears on the square matching the letter's position in your guess. If that square is already green, the hint is skipped — but the keyboard still marks the letter yellow.
• Where a row and column cross and both words hint at the square, both letters are shown — the row word's hint on top, the column word's below.
• Duplicate letters: once a target word's copy of a letter is green or yellow, it cannot make a second copy yellow.
• Keyboard colors reflect the guess you're viewing: green is locked in, yellow means the letter is in a word but not yet placed.
• While reviewing an earlier guess, the keyboard is disabled — tap the latest number to keep playing.
• Use the built-in keyboard—there is no mobile text field.
