I do the daily wordle, but lately have been liking the murdle and the hexcodle.

I've tried worldle, but I'm crap at geography. Probably a reason I should play more, but thems be the breaks.

Any recommendations?

The game starts with a simple planet, and your task is to develop it into a high-tech, flourishing world. In https://planetclickergame.com clicking allows you to collect resources necessary for upgrades. The challenge is to manage these resources effectively to continuously enhance and expand your planet.

Wow, I expected to see squardle posted all over this thread, I haven't seen it yet, so:

My daily puzzles are wordle waffle and squardle, the last being far and away my favorite.

I just want to say that this was a fantastic thread, and thank you for posting. There are some great suggestions in here.

Betweenle. Shows how close your other guesses are alphabetically, and you try to guess based on that.

I haven't played it in a while (I play Shadow of the Tomb Raider on the train nowadays) but NYT Vertex is fun.

There has to be better out there (they often tell me things aren't words that absolutely are words) but Wordscapes.

My favorite is plain old wordle.

Eldrow is pretty entertaining, though it's not really limited to once a day. You pick a word and the computer makes guesses until it figures it out.

A while ago I used to play Redactle unlimited, a game in which, by entering words, you need to uncover the text from a random Wikipedia page, and the goal is to find the title of the Wikipedia article with as less words as possible

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's pretty fun too! I had to use a few hints but I bet once you get used to it it gets easier

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

My issue is that if you don't know what the article is about and it's not a word/concept you know, there's absolutely no chance of 'winning'.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I'll throw in Griddle, where you have to find high-scoring words on a grid

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

https://travle.earth/ you're given two countries and asked to name the countries in between.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

This is a good one, though I was much better at the local version

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Semantle is pretty fun. For every word you guess it tells you how semantically similar it is to the secret word.

You get unlimited guesses, so there's no shame in throwing words at the wall and seeing what sticks

https://www.contexto.me

One word is the key word, every other word is ranked by relatedness, #300 is the 300th closest word, #1 is the correct word.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This game is not fun. It's not at all clear how the words relate, to the point where I got a top 10 word in the first 10 guesses, and it still took over 100 guesses to find the keyword.

I found it to be an unrewarding waste of time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I'm with you, I got word number 9, it felt like it had nothing to do with word number 1, word number 9000 however I felt was pretty close.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

This one is very difficult, I only got close thanks to a typo!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Oh this is one of those games. But I really like it! Thanks for the suggestion!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

My nightly routine before bed:

Also try to play AntGame.io at least once a day to get a decent score.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

The NYT games are my morning ritual but I haven’t seen strands before, that’s exciting! I know it’s beta but I wish it showed up in the games app, hopefully soon

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Waffle. It's like wordle+jumble in a waffle shape. You need to solve the puzzle in the least number of moves possible.

Heardle (Rock version).Technically less of a puzzle and more of a song guessing game. Still fun, nonetheless. I prefer the rock version cause I don't suck at it lol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Absurdle is an antagonistic version of wordle. The word changes based on your guess to be as hard as possible.

There's also this version of passwordle in which you guess the the input to make the matching sha256.

My friend recently introduced me to Mathler.

It's a game where you have to guess a math formula that's equal to a given number, by giving both the digits (0-9) and operations on those numbers (+ - * /). You can even pick a difficulty depending on how good your math skills are.

I quite enjoy quordle, its four wordles at once. There's also octordle if you want more of a challenge.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Duotrigordle is pretty good fun

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Thank you! I forgot to mention these two.

There's also a 64dle if you're really feeling adventurous

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

I'm surprised I didn't see https://guessthe.game/ on this list. I try to play it every day, but you can really get lost going down the rabbit hole of all the previous day's games.
