Waffle Japanese (ワッフル, Puzzlega.me)

About Waffle Japanese (ワッフル, Puzzlega.me)

This Waffle is a kanji-swapping puzzle from the Puzzlega.me collection of Japanese daily games. The board is a square grid with holes, like a waffle, where the rows and columns each spell a Japanese word made of kanji.

At the start the kanji are scrambled. You swap two tiles at a time to move them into place. A green tile is in the right spot, a yellow tile belongs somewhere else in the same row or column, and a plain tile is not part of that line. Using the colours and your knowledge of kanji compounds, you rearrange the grid until every word is correct.

The puzzle changes every day and the answer is the same for every player. It plays free in the browser alongside the site's other Japanese puzzles such as Spelling Bee, Sakuin Tango and Donut.

It suits Japanese readers and kanji learners who enjoy the English Waffle and want a version built on kanji compounds.

How to play Waffle Japanese (ワッフル, Puzzlega.me)

1. Look at the scrambled kanji in the waffle-shaped grid.

Tips

• Lock in green tiles first and work around them.
• Think of common two-kanji compounds that fit the corners.
• Plan swaps that fix two tiles at once to save moves.
