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?
https://travle.earth/ you’re given two countries and asked to name the countries in between.
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
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
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.
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.
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’.
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.
Murdle: https://murdle.com/
A daily logic puzzle murder mystery.
that’s awesome!
Is there a way to play previous ones? That’s something that always bothers me in these daily puzzles
Unfortunately not. There are several books released though. I have the first one, it’s pretty fun and a nice way to occupy oneself with a break from screens.
I noticed that the code is quite open to check, so currently I’m poking around the code to see what functions to call to reset the puzzle to a specific date or a random generated one.
It’s a bit tricky
So, I have my games on an old phone to not clutter my phone. What I do with these is just change the date on your phone, and that day’s puzzle should unlock for you. But that’s the benefit of having it on another phone so it doesn’t fuck up your messages and other stuff.
P.s. I’m assuming this is played on a phone, if not, just ignore my suggestion, but this could work on any device.
I just played today’s. Maybe I need to play more to really get it. Is it always this trivial?
Mondays are always the easiest level. As the week goes on the difficulty goes up.
Ahh ok cool, I’ll keep at it. Thanks for the recommendation.
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.

I just want to say that this was a fantastic thread, and thank you for posting. There are some great suggestions in here.
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.
Hexcodle: https://hexcodle.com/
Guess the colour in RRGGBB hex code.
That’s neat, never heard of this.
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.
Neat! I’ve always been a fan of roguelikes!

I’ve been stuck with Figure for the longest time
I’m not 100% sure what I did but hey, I solved it! Thanks for sharing
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
