Gravity gives direction
Tilting a waffle adds a downhill pull along its surface. In this puzzle, syrup above a pocket’s holding level moves toward the selected neighbor. A butter dam blocks that route, so changing the tilt can open another path.

Pour. Tilt. Perfect.
One waffle. One drop. A thousand delicious paths.
SYRUP GRAVITY PUZZLE01 / FIRST POUR
◈ MINT = TARGET ▧ STRIPES = KEEP DRY ▰ BUTTER = DAM
Select a pocket. Make your first pour.
01 / DROP
Choose a starting pocket and add one measured drop.
02 / TILT
Guide the overflow. A little syrup stays in every pocket.
03 / PERFECT
Reach every mint target with fewer pours and dry crispy zones.
THE SYRUP LABORATORY
A little science.
A lot of syrup.
Try the same tilt with different sauces. Temperature changes the model’s flow rate; it does not change the amount of syrup. Place butter in an empty pocket to stop incoming flow.
A playful grid model, not measured food viscosity or a real fluid solver.

WHY DOES SYRUP FLOW?
The sweet side of physics.
Viscosity resists flow
Viscosity describes resistance to deformation and flow. A more viscous model transfers less syrup per simulation step. Here honey and chocolate move more slowly than maple and berry; the ordering is an illustrative game choice, not a comparison of all real products.
Warmth changes the pace
Many sugar syrups become less viscous as they warm. Our temperature slider illustrates this by increasing the transfer rate. Real flow also depends on composition, concentration, wetting and surface tension, which this simplified puzzle does not fully model.

A few delicious questions.
How do I win the waffle syrup maze?
Fill every mint diamond pocket to at least 0.16 units. Protect striped pockets and minimize pours and tilts. The score uses target coverage (45), syrup economy (25), crispness (20) and move economy (10).
