Number Waffle

Number Waffle is a daily number puzzle. Swap tiles so each row and column contains the digits 1 through 7, and use the sum clues to solve the board in 20 swaps or fewer.

Game rules

  1. Look for tiles already in the correct spots. Use them to work out which digits each row or column still needs.
  2. Read the circled clues. Each circle gives the sum of the cells it points to.
  3. Drag one tile onto another to swap them. Tiles change color when they land in the correct spots.
  4. Check the counter below the board to see how many swaps you have left. Place every tile correctly before you exceed the 20-swap limit.

Quick tip

Before swapping two tiles, check where both will land. Look for swaps that put both tiles in their correct spots.

About Number Waffle

Check both the row and the column to work out which digit belongs in a cell. Suppose a row still needs a 3 and a 5. If one of the empty cells is in a column that already has a 3 in the right place, put the 5 in that cell.

A sum clue can settle a placement too. If two cells must add up to 10 and one already holds a correctly placed 4, the other must hold a 6. Once you know where the 6 belongs, check what that tells you about the rest of its row and column.

Frequently asked questions

How do I earn stars in Number Waffle?

Solve the puzzle to earn one star for each swap you have left. A 15-swap solve earns five stars.

Do the digits have to be in order?

The digits can appear in any order. Each row and column must contain every digit from 1 through 7 once, and the placements must satisfy the sum clues.
