## What is Straywords?

One grid a day. Everyone gets the same one.

The grid arrives filled in, but three letters are wrong. The right ones sit under the board as loose tiles, mixed with a few that never belonged. No clues. Find the impostors and put the right letters back.

A right tile stays and turns its words green. A wrong tile comes back red and costs a strike. Three strikes and the puzzle is over.

Mondays are gentle. Weekends are deceitful: the wrong letters hide inside words that look fine. Share your result as a spoiler-free row of blue and red tiles. Practice puzzles for when one a day isn't enough.

No ads. No account. Nothing leaves your phone unless you share it.
