Word Salad FAQ

Short answers to the questions players actually search for.

What is Word Salad?

Word Salad is a free daily word puzzle by Bleppo LTD. Each day you get a themed grid of letter tiles; you swipe to trace the hidden words, and solved letters fall away until the grid is clear. Every puzzle is written and signed by a human author.

Where can I play Word Salad?

Three official ways: the iOS app on the App Store, the Android app on Google Play, and the browser version at wordsalad.online linked from the developer's site. All three are free to play.

Is Word Salad free?

Yes. The daily puzzle is free on all platforms, with optional extreme puzzle packs and thousands of extra puzzles available in the app for players who want more.

How do hints work in Word Salad?

The game has a built-in hint system that gives clever clues pointing toward a word or the theme without outright revealing it. Our daily hints page follows the same philosophy: graduated nudges first, the full answer only after.

Do you publish answers with spoilers?

Only behind a clear spoiler structure: every daily page leads with graduated hints, states the theme, and puts the full word list last with the date it was verified. If you just want a nudge, you can stop reading before the reveal.

Stuck on today's salad?

Get a nudge, not a spoiler. Our daily hints page starts with gentle clues and only reveals the full answer after — with the date we verified it.
