Griddle Words
Daily Word Puzzle Game
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your new daily ritual. Swipe to solve the daily grid, track your streak, and challenge friends. The perfect logic puzzle to keep your brain sharp.
Enter the blueprint. Griddle Words is the daily logic puzzle designed to test your vocabulary and spatial reasoning.
Every midnight, a new grid drops. Your mission? Deconstruct the puzzle, find 100% of the words, and keep your daily streak alive. Unlike standard word searches, Griddle Words requires strategy—you can swipe horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, but you’ll need to think ahead to clear the board.

more Minor bug fixes.

Minor bug fixes.
1.5.4 Apr 26
Minor bug fixes.
1.5.3 Apr 24
Two bug fixes based on player reports.
- Some signed-in players saw a sign-in prompt on the puzzle completion screen even though they were already signed in and their scores were already on the leaderboard. That prompt is now hidden from signed-in players.
- A rare connection hiccup at launch could make the app briefly behave as if you were signed out, sometimes hiding your streak or asking you to sign in again. The app now holds your session through brief network issues and only signs you out when the server actually rejects your credentials.
Thank you for the thoughtful bug reports — please keep them coming.
