Waywords (Netflix Puzzled): How to Play, Rules and Tips
Waywords is the word search with a route in Netflix Puzzled. The grid hides words of one theme; find them and they build a path from the start of the grid to its end. Other words hide in the grid too, of another theme: finding one does not extend the path, but it reveals a letter of it. You win when the path joins start to finish.
- Theme words make the path
- Extra words reveal a letter
- Start to end
The rules
A theme, a start and an end
The theme, Breakfast, sits above the grid. The path starts in one corner and must reach the opposite one through theme words.
- ✓ Right
A theme word is a stretch of path
Tap and drag the letters of a theme word. A found path word turns solved, and its tiles are the path so far.
Extra words are not the path
SAW is a real word in the grid, but a tool, not a breakfast: an extra word. It is not part of the path, though finding it reveals one path letter.
Start joined to end: solved
When the found theme words link the start to the end without a gap, the puzzle is solved. Finding every extra word too is the extra challenge.
From the start corner to the end
A 5 by 5 grid of our own, the theme Breakfast:
The theme is Breakfast: TOAST runs along the top from the start
SAW and BOAT are words of another theme: a letter of the path each, no path
EGGS down the right side reaches the end: solved
Where to play, and the controls
- Open Netflix Puzzled on iOS or Android, or in a browser at netflix.com/tudum/puzzled. No account is needed.
- Tap and drag across the letters of a word. Path words turn solved; a tile with a picture stands for a word, tap it to see which.
- The lightbulb marks one letter of a path word you have not found. The Words button lists every word in the grid with its length.
Waywords tips: find the path, not every word
Begin at the start
The path leaves the start corner through a theme word. Read outward from that corner in every direction before looking anywhere else.
Follow the path's end
The path's next word begins where the last one ended. Hunt for theme words that touch the end of the path, not anywhere in the grid.
Use the lengths
The Words button shows how long each word is. A theme word of six letters must fit along a stretch of six free tiles from the path's end.
Mine the extra words
A found extra word reveals a path letter: cheap information when the path's next word is hiding. Hunt extras when the path stalls.
Read the pictures
A picture tile is a word; the words around it may be shorter than they look. Tap it before you count letters.
