- Drag a tile onto another to swap them, or tap one tile then tap another.
- Green is correct and locks in place. Yellow means the letter belongs in that word but not in that square. Grey means it belongs somewhere else entirely.
- The nine tiles where a row and a column cross answer to both words at once, so a yellow there can be coming from either one.
- Every row and column spells a real word. Solve it within 18 swaps, fewer swaps earns more stars.

🎯 Objective
Rearrange the 21 letters so every row and column spells a real word, using 18 swaps or fewer.
📊 How you score
Your score is how many swaps you used (1-18), fewer is better. Every board's true minimum is exactly 10 swaps, so solving in 10 earns the full 5 stars and you lose one star per swap past that. Solving the daily grows your streak; missing a day resets it to zero.
💡 Tips
- Green tiles are locked and correct, focus on the yellow and grey ones.
- Look for a direct swap first: two tiles that fix each other in a single move are the cheapest kind.
- Grey tiles aren't needed anywhere nearby, they usually need to travel further across the board.
- A yellow tile near the edge of the grid is a strong clue: it likely belongs a few cells over in that same row or column.
- If a word shows the same letter twice, one yellow and one grey, that word only wants one of them. The grey one has to travel.
