Word Salad Guide: How to Play and Win

Word Salad is a fun and challenging daily word puzzle game, developed by Bleppo Games. You can play it directly in your browser at wordsalad.online or by downloading the app for iOS or Android. It is similar to NYT's Strands but with its own unique twist! Each day, you get a fresh 4x4 board of scrambled letters that hides a number of theme-based words. Below the grid, hints help guide you, indicating the number of words to find and their respective lengths. Your goal is to connect letters, exactly like in Strands, to form words that fit the theme.

Unlike Strands, where letters can only be used once, Word Salad allows certain letters to be used multiple times. However, once a letter is fully used in forming a word, it disappears from the board, adding an extra layer of strategy. Each puzzle keeps you engaged with fresh themes, testing your vocabulary, strategy, and speed as you race against time to uncover hidden words.

While the web version focuses mainly on the daily puzzle, the Word Salad apps offer additional thematic puzzles. Explore categories like General (300 puzzles), Geography (340 puzzles), and Natural World (500 puzzles), each with subtopics to dive into. With talented constructors like Mark, Samuel, and Molly, the game continuously adds new content, including popular categories like US Sports (200 puzzles), ensuring fresh challenges for every player.

Lady Puzzle Pro's Expert Tips & Tricks for Word Salad Success

Tip 1: Use the theme as a guiding clue

Think of the daily theme like a crossword clue—it's your biggest hint. The words you’re going to uncover are essentially the answers to this overarching theme. Use it to focus your word search and narrow down possibilities.

Tips 2: Focus on letter combinations

Start by spotting high-value or frequently used letter patterns. Scan the board for common letter groupings, especially in corners or along edges. Keep an eye out for ending patterns like -LY, -CK, -SH, -NESS, and -IVE, which often help unlock multiple words.

Tip 3: Pay attention to the hints below the board

The hints provided below the board are key to narrowing down your word search. They give you the exact number of words to find and their lengths, making it easier to spot potential fits on the board.

Tip 4 : Connect the words to the theme

Think of the words as part of a logical “group,” much like in a connections puzzle. Each word should be linked to the theme in some way. Random guesses won’t work—only words that fit the daily theme will count, so always ask yourself how a word relates back to the clue.
