How to play Waffle

- Green tiles are correct, yellow tiles belong in that row or column but in another place, and gray tiles belong elsewhere.
- Fix the whole grid within 15 swaps; fewer swaps left over earns fewer stars.
Waffle tips
- Work out every word on paper before your first swap; swaps are the scarce resource.
