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?

Metazooa. It's not quite a wordle clone, but it's clearly inspired by the genre

Basically, you have to guess an animal each day, and every time you guess, the game tells you the last branch your guess and the animal have in common on the taxanomic tree

    I'm not sure if this one counts, but I'm a fan of Rogule

    Rogule is a minimalist online Roguelike game you play in your web browser. Everyone gets the same dungeon each day. You get one chance to beat each day's dungeon. It is free to play.

    that's awesome!

    Is there a way to play previous ones? That's something that always bothers me in these daily puzzles

    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 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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    I really like Connections: https://www.nytimes.com/games/connections

    There's also a fan made archive of the older games: https://connectionsplus.io/nyt-archive

    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

  • 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

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

    I like Travle, which might also help with your geography (or just be difficult for you).

    If we expand out to any daily game, I'm a huge fan of Timeguessr.

    My wife and I have a (irregular) routine of playing Heardle over afternoon drinks. There are a variety of genres etc so we usually play a few together.

    I used to do https://cardle.uk/ every once in a while but I got a bunch of British cars I didn't recognize. I wish it told you if you guessed the manufacturer as well.

    I would love to do a North America cardle with common cars mixed in with high end cars.

    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.
