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.
