Meldle

What Meldle is

Meldle is a free daily word puzzle for web browsers. Each puzzle gives you twelve fragments. Hidden among them are three two-letter pairs called melds, and each meld completes exactly four fragments to form an everyday word. A meld can sit at the start, middle, or end of a word, so fragments may connect to the pair in different ways. Your task is to sort the twelve fragments into three groups and find the pair that belongs to each group. A new puzzle arrives at midnight UTC, and past puzzles are kept in an archive. The site also tracks your stats and includes a bookmark feature for saving puzzles. Try to solve all three groups with as few mistakes as possible.

How to play

Review the twelve fragments and decide which four might share the same missing pair. Tap those four fragments, type the two-letter meld you want to test, and lock in your guess. If the pair is correct, all four fragments become everyday words. Put that solved group aside and keep matching pairs to the remaining fragments until all three melds are found and every fragment is used. After solving, you can share your result, challenge a friend, or replay any past puzzle from the archive.

Tips

1. Test the same two-letter pair at the beginning, middle, and end of a fragment. A meld can appear in any of those positions, so trying each placement helps you spot real words.
2. Once one set of four fragments is solved, ignore those words and focus on the rest of the board. Since every meld accounts for exactly four fragments, a correct group makes the remaining puzzle easier.
