Waffle (wafflegame.net) puzzle #1755, for Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026, begins with 7 of its 21 tiles green. Start with the top word. A short meaning for every word follows, and the answers and the swap route stay in the marked spoiler section.

Today’s colors work as on our Waffle page.

Hints for each word

Across

• Row 1: starts with F and ends with K. To pat someone down in a search, or to leap about in play.
• Row 3: starts with A and ends with E. A round fruit that grows on a tree.
• Row 5: starts with H and ends with L. A building where travelers pay for a room.

Down

• Column 1: starts with F and ends with H. A sudden, brief burst of light.
• Column 3: starts with I and ends with T. Data fed into a computer.
• Column 5: starts with K and ends with L. To rest on bent legs with both knees on the floor.

Where the T starts in grid #1755

Look at the top word’s middle square. The tile sitting there is a T, and that square is not its home. In the shortest route we list, that one tile is swapped four times, more than anything else on the board, and only the fourth swap settles it. That last move also brings a second tile home.

On the way it stops on the left edge, then the right edge, then the bottom row, so expect to park it in a few wrong squares while other tiles go home.

Start from the top of grid #1755

Row 1 has three green tiles, at the left end, next to it, and at the right end. That makes it the nearest word to done. Row 3 is the opposite: only the center square is home, so four of its five tiles have to arrive from elsewhere. Row 5 sits between them with two greens, both in corners.

Column 1, column 3 and column 5 each hold two greens. Add the row and column counts and you reach 12, because five of the seven greens sit where a row meets a column and count twice, while the other two, in row 1 and row 4, count once.

Five letters repeat: L, E, S, P and N take up 12 of the 21 tiles.

Letter	Tiles	Start in the right square
L	3	1
E	3	0
S	2	0
P	2	1
N	2	0

Ten of those 12 tiles start in the wrong square, so a yellow L, E, S, P or N tells you little: the same letter has two or three legal homes. Every other letter appears once and has a single destination.

The starting grid

The starting grid, row by row, with dots for the holes:

F R T A K
S . L . E
I E P N S
P . U . L
H E O N L

The green tiles are F in row 1, column 1; R in row 1, column 2; K in row 1, column 5; P in the center; U in row 4, column 3; H in row 5, column 1; and L in row 5, column 5.

A 10-swap route to finish

The minimum is 10 swaps. Play them in order, because each one assumes the earlier ones are done. Swaps 4, 5, 8 and 10 put two tiles home at once; the other six fix one each.
