Posted: December 12, 2023 | Author: alangager | Filed under: Games | Comments Off on Favorite “Wordle” spin-offs and other games

Since Wordle helped popularize the “daily game” trend, here are some I have enjoyed:

➡️ Played daily

NY Times Mini – my mom and siblings share our scores

NY Times Connections – create similar groups of four

Strands – find the words and theme

Quordle – Wordle but four words

Bandle – guess the song one track at a time

Cuedle – guess the song quickly

Decipher – Cryptogram puzzle game… decipher the quote

➡️ Occasionally

NY Times Letter Boxed – I play less than I used to… I can usually get it in two if I spend enough time

Chronophoto – guess the year the photo was taken

Timeguessr – similar to Chronophoto but guess the location, too — I don’t play every day but I like Geoguessr-type games

Immaculate Grid – complete the grid with baseball players

Framed – guess the movie by still images

➡️ Fun but I don’t play as much anymore

Redactle – try to figure out the Wikipedia article

Moviedle – another guess the movie game

Worldle – guess the country

USA Today Jumble – classic word game, glitchy design
