Sometime in 2022 I started playing Wordle, then I was introduced to Quordle, Qwordle and a variety of food related wordles called foodle.
In late December I started getting the feeling that for the 3 different foodles I’d been playing I’d seen the day’s answer before. So I started writing down the answers. Columns are:
- Foodle – no link since it’s disappeared.
- Date – ddmm
- food-le.com
- foodlewordle.io

plunk 0613 salsa tasteWhich means that for over a month I’ve been getting a response of Impossible each time I get the answer correct on my first attempt.
But that’s not hard, since food-le.com doesn’t have a good memory… you can play the game as many times as you like in a day.
Anyway, these are the answers I’ve recorded over the last 5 months or so.
Feel free to use this post as a crib sheet. See below.
It’ll make doing food-le.com a rather pointless exercise, unless, like me, you’re waiting for the day when the word list is updated so the answer can no longer be predicted.
Results of interest
- On 4th April both foodles had
honeyfor the chosen word. - On 25th May I did actually guess
squidin one for foodlewordle - Foodlewordle is quite tricky
- sometimes since its food related vocabulary is rather limited eg. It didn’t accept pasty.
- and it often has food I’ve never heard of: gyros, panko, ponzu, kasha, spork to name a few
Strange words that are accepted
It appears that both foodles accept some words that I find hard to believe are food related:
- shite
- snark
- sarge
- spake
- sebum
- stend
- bolar
- peeps
- plebs
- slily
- sinus
- strum, but not strip
- smogs
- slugs
- burke
- shuck
- scart
- swarm
- bothy
- wadge
- divot
- julia
- wrick
- frito
- sider
- boing
- slots
- speck
- blips
- prost
- scape
- balsa
- coaly
The reason there are a lot of S words in this list is because that’s how I play wordle related games. My first guess starts with an S, and if the S doesn’t get a green, the second with a B – often bacon.
food-le.com crib sheet for 13th June 2023 to 13 17th October 2023
From salsa to salsa, with a few blanks.
I’ve had it wrong a couple of times where I’d missed recording my answers for the date or wrote them in the wrong order.
Corrections made from 31st July to 11th August.
- I’ve had the wrong answer for quite a few days in the last week or so.
- I wonder if the set of words has been changed?
- Or maybe they’ve been reordered
Perhaps not… see next orange annotation.

Looking back at my history it appears I’d missed a few days at the end of March beginning of April; that was Rachel and Mike’s wedding. Let’s see if my updated prediction are correct from the 12th August, after which the cycle will repeat from salsa ( 6th Feb, and 13th June, 17th October ).
