Griddle is a daily vocabulary puzzle game. The object of the game is not to guess a secret word, but to use all the letters given to you to form the best scoring system of linked words. The core principle is similar to scrabble, however instead of fighting against other players you optimize a static board of letters with tons of bonus tiles on it.

The fun of Griddle is you get to make choices that matter. But a rare letter like Q or J can be worth a lot of points if you position it in the proper place, but it also makes it more difficult to link the whole board. The goal is not only to rack up as many words as possible, but to balance the score against the ability to use all of the letter tiles. Griddle gives you a fresh collection of letters each day to make it seem like you are getting a new puzzle, not just the same formula with different letters.

How to play Griddle

Create a Word Network

All the words on the board are to be connected to form one cluster. That means, if you can’t hook it up to the rest of the board later on, a high-scoring word in the corner of the board wouldn’t be a wise move.

Bonus squares like letter multipliers or word multipliers make letter placement just as important as the vocabulary itself. Sometimes, a short word placed correctly is more effective than a long word that misses a bonus square.

Optimize Each Letter Piece

You need to use all the letters provided before submitting your answer. High-value letters are often key to creating a score difference, but they are also the most difficult to handle because the number of words that can be combined with them is quite limited.

Constantly adjusting the layout and changing a word to open up new connections is an experience that unfolds throughout each game.

Griddle Tips

• You don’t want to dump your high-scoring letters immediately away. You should be able to connect the whole board afterward.
• If feasible, try to get letters like Q, J or X on the multiplier squares first.
• If you get stuck, try redesigning the layout rather than simply finding new words. In Griddle the connection between words is often as significant as the words themselves.
• It may be easier to link your words if you leave flexible letters such as E, S or R until last.

Griddle is a puzzle game that is perfect for anyone who want more depth than the average word guessing game. Each day's task is a problem of optimization, where the language, powers of observation and distribution of points all play a direct role in the final result.
