About Smartle
Smartle is a free online word puzzle game where you rearrange letters by swapping them on a 5x5 grid to form words. Win the game by creating 5 horizontal 5-letter words on the field. There are multiple valid combinations of words which can win the game.
Expect casual at its core, with a streak of puzzle woven through the design. Whether you want a quick five-minute break or a longer session, it runs smoothly on just about any device.
Two quick pointers before you dive deep: If the game has a hint button, save it for when you are genuinely blocked, not just slow. Take a screenshot of a tricky board before experimenting, so you can always reset in your head.
Looking for a quick casual fix? Smartle streams instantly on Glaze Games — no installs, no logins, no waiting.
