What's your favourite -dle? (Daily puzzle game?)
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
🐯 Animal #230 🐕 I figured it out in 11 guesses! 🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟧🟨🟩🟩🟩🟩 🔥 1 | Avg. Guesses: 11

That was super fun! Thank you for sharing
Thats so cool! Thanks. :)
this was so fun!
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 was super cute! Thanks for sharing. I beat today's
This is a nice little diversion. I don't know how good I did.

Seems cool but the rules are opaque and you can't retry, which is a combo that means I'll never touch this again.
Murdle: https://murdle.com/
A daily logic puzzle murder mystery.
"It's really hard to make an abstract idea concrete, so they used marble. " lol
(from the tutorial mystery)
I quite enjoy challenging my musical knowledge with https://bandle.app/
Ok I like this one. I'll be playing it again tomorrow. I'm showing my age but I used to love "Name that Tune" and I think this scratches that same itch.
Bandle #578 2/6
🟥🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜
Found: 1/1 (100%)I thought I'd be terrible but got it in 2. I mean, it is a very iconic bass line, but I'm still proud. Thank you for the suggestion!
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!
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.
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 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
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.
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
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
We're to the point now that my wife and I play Wordle, Connections, Strands, & the NYT mini crossword every day.
Same lol, although you should add plusword to the mix, its my favorite
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'.
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
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.
Hexcodle: https://hexcodle.com/
Guess the colour in RRGGBB hex code.
That's neat, never heard of this.
I just want to say that this was a fantastic thread, and thank you for posting. There are some great suggestions in here.
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.
Thank you! Played a few rounds with my husband, it was a blast
My wife and I love playing this game together. heardle unlimited Gool!
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 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.
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.
Travle is difficult but I'm a little obsessed. Thank you!
My favorite is plain old wordle.
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 haven't played it in a while (I play Shadow of the Tomb Raider on the train nowadays) but NYT Vertex is fun.
I'll throw in Griddle, where you have to find high-scoring words on a grid
Betweenle. Shows how close your other guesses are alphabetically, and you try to guess based on that.
There has to be better out there (they often tell me things aren't words that absolutely are words) but Wordscapes.
I do:
