🧐 How to Play Word Salad

Word Salad is a word-finding puzzle where you must uncover theme-related words hidden in a 4×4 letter grid.

🎯 Game Rules:

1️⃣ The game presents a daily theme (like “Planets” or “Zoo Animals”).
2️⃣ You must find all related words in the letter grid.
3️⃣ Once a word is found, its letters disappear, making it easier to find the next word!
4️⃣ The game ends once you’ve found all the words related to the theme.
5️⃣ You can play on the official website or the app—but keep in mind, streaks don’t transfer between platforms!


💡 Word Salad Strategy Tips

🔍 Look for shorter words first – Finding smaller words clears out letters, making longer ones easier to spot.
🎭 Think about different word variations – If a theme is “Cities,” look for names that might be inspired by other places (like today’s puzzle!).
🌿 Use the disappearing letter trick – Once you find a word, its letters vanish—use this to narrow down where the remaining words might be.
📅 Stick to one platform – If you care about streaks, play only on the same website or app each day!
