Rowdle

Rowdle is a browser word puzzle whose numbered dailies began on 1 April 2026. Each board holds one word per row, but the letters have been shuffled across the whole grid. You win by swapping tiles until every row spells its word.

The colours work like Wordle's, turned sideways: green means the letter is in the right row and the right spot, yellow means it belongs in this row but somewhere else, and grey means it belongs in a different row. Columns do not matter, only rows. A row locks once it is solved.

There is no guessing and no limit on turns. The challenge is efficiency: the game counts your swaps and sets a target for each board, and the share text gives your count. Four boards come out each day on the same page. Classic is five rows of five letters with a target of 15 swaps. Mini is a four by four aimed at 10 swaps, and maxi is a seven by seven aimed at 30. Mystery is a five by five where five tiles show only a question mark: the hidden letters travel with their tiles, still take a colour, and show themselves when their row is solved.

A daily quest panel counts how many of the four you have finished and lets you share all four results together, with a countdown to the next set. Past days can be replayed from the Past puzzles calendar, and the infinity button deals unlimited practice boards. There are no ads and no account. Spanish and Polish editions, the Polish one called Rządle, have their own word lists.

It suits players who like Waffle or Swapple and want a grid where only the rows count.
