Rowdle

Rowdle is a daily word puzzle where your mission is to rebuild five scrambled five-letter rows by swapping letters until every word sits in its correct position.

You start with a jumbled grid of 25 letters. Five valid words are hiding in there, one per row. Your job is to swap letters between any two positions until each row lights up green. Columns don't matter at all, only rows.

• Swap any two letters by selecting them in sequence.
• Green means the letter is correct and in the right spot.
• Yellow means the letter belongs in that row but is in the wrong position.
• Grey means the letter belongs in a different row entirely.
• Aim for 15 moves or fewer to beat the par.
• A fresh puzzle drops every day, with Mini and Maxi variants for different grid sizes.

The color feedback updates instantly after each swap, so you can test theories quickly and pivot when a letter refuses to cooperate.

Why we like it:

• ✅The swap mechanic feels more hands on than typing guesses into a blank grid.
• ✅Short enough to solve over lunch but deep enough to keep you thinking.
• ✅That satisfying moment when a stubborn yellow finally clicks into place.

Hint: Start by isolating the grey letters. Moving misplaced letters into their correct rows clears the fog fast and lets you focus on arranging what's left.
