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.

This is a nice little diversion. I don't know how good I did.

Neat! I’ve always been a fan of roguelikes!

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.

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 5 months ago

that's awesome!

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

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

[-] SeeJayEmm@lemmy.procrastinati.org 3 points 5 months ago

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 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!

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.

[-] tko@tkohhh.social 4 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

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.

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.

[-] Jordan117@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

My nightly routine before bed:

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

[-] MudSkipperKisser@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

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

[-] florge@feddit.uk 7 points 5 months ago

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

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Duotrigordle is pretty good fun

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Thank you! I forgot to mention these two.

There's also a 64dle if you're really feeling adventurous

[-] boatswain@infosec.pub 7 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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.

[-] hroderic@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

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

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

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

Hexcodle: https://hexcodle.com/

Guess the colour in RRGGBB hex code.

[-] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

That's neat, never heard of this.

[-] Trollivier@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

That's pretty fun too! I had to use a few hints but I bet once you get used to it it gets easier

[-] EssentialCoffee@midwest.social 3 points 5 months ago

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'.

[-] alilbee@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

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

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 5 months ago

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

[-] SeeJayEmm@lemmy.procrastinati.org 2 points 5 months ago

We're to the point now that my wife and I play Wordle, Connections, Strands, & the NYT mini crossword every day.

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.

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Thank you! Played a few rounds with my husband, it was a blast

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.

I've been stuck with Figure for the longest time

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

I'm not 100% sure what I did but hey, I solved it! Thanks for sharing

[-] kayaven@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] ReeferPirate@lemy.lol 2 points 5 months ago
[-] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

I haven't played it in a while (I play Shadow of the Tomb Raider on the train nowadays) but NYT Vertex is fun.

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

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.
