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.

Murdle: https://murdle.com/

A daily logic puzzle murder mystery.

I quite enjoy challenging my musical knowledge with https://bandle.app/

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Hexcodle: https://hexcodle.com/

Guess the colour in RRGGBB hex code.

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.

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.

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.

I would like to add a website for Connections Game, which also creates connections for free. https://connectionsarchive.net/

https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/

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.

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

https://scrandle.com/ you look at food and guess which was most highly voted for as tasty

Wow so many fun recs! I have played many daily games, but lately I have been playing

Daily Akari.

One Up Puzzle

Enclose Horse

I highly recommend checking out !dailygames@lemmy.zip ! It's a super active community where people share their daily games and scores, and it's a great way to find new games as well.

I would like to add a website for Connections Game, which also creates connections for free. https://connectionsarchive.net/

I highly recommend checking out this GeoGuessr Free Alternative that combines real street exploration with an exciting competitive twist.

And here are my routine during breaks:

• Strands : Navigate a 6-by-8 letter grid, searching for themed words that are ingeniously interconnected
• Flagle Explorer : An innovative flag-guessing game that identify regions through flag fragments
• Waffle : The object of the game is to form six words correctly using no more than 15 moves
• Globe Map Game : An educational geography puzzle platform that combines gaming with learning

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

Colorfle Unlimited & Daily! A unique browser-based puzzle game that transforms color theory learning into an exciting challenge. Players dive into the art of color mixing, attempting to match target combinations within six strategic attempts while receiving detailed feedback to perfect their approach.

I think you could enjoy Semantle. This is a semantic word game where you guess words based on their meaning rather than their letters. It’s a fascinating way to engage with language in a new way. You may play it on https://worldofthegoo.com

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.

I do:

• Guess the Game
• Framed
• Connections
