I think you could enjoy Semantle. This is a semantic word game where you guess words based on their meaning rather than their letters. Itβs a fascinating way to engage with language in a new way. You may play it on https://worldofthegoo.com
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
That's pretty fun too! I had to use a few hints but I bet once you get used to it it gets easier
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'.
https://travle.earth/ you're given two countries and asked to name the countries in between.
This is a good one, though I was much better at the local version
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
One word is the key word, every other word is ranked by relatedness, #300 is the 300th closest word, #1 is the correct word.
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.
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.
This one is very difficult, I only got close thanks to a typo!
Oh this is one of those games. But I really like it! Thanks for the suggestion!
My nightly routine before bed:
- Smartle (simple word game)
- Chronophoto (guess the year five photos were taken)
- TimeGuessr (guess the year and location five photos were taken)
- Connections (NYTimes categorization game)
- Spelling Bee (NYTimes letter game)
- Hurdle (basically five linked Wordles)
- Wordle
- Strands (new NYTimes letter game)
Also try to play AntGame.io at least once a day to get a decent score.
The NYT games are my morning ritual but I havenβt seen strands before, thatβs exciting! I know itβs beta but I wish it showed up in the games app, hopefully soon
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.
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.
Duotrigordle is pretty good fun
Thank you! I forgot to mention these two.
There's also a 64dle if you're really feeling adventurous
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.
