How to play
- The grid holds six five-letter words — 3 across and 3 down — with the letters scrambled.
- Swap any two letters at a time and restore every word within the swap limit.
- Green correct; Yellow belongs to this row/column word but elsewhere; Grey belongs to neither.
Undo returns swaps; Reset does not.
Tap a letter, then another, to swap them. Green letters are locked in place.
Tips & strategies
- Fix green letters in your head first — they never move.
- Yellow letters belong to that row or column word.
- Each swap that places two letters at once saves you a move.
