Another fun twist on wordle I recommend is fusele. Each word you enter has its own rule you need to follow, for example maybe the first word has to repeat a letter, or you get orange hints instead which mean the letter you entered is within 3 letters of the alphabet of the correct letter.
I actually pay the $2/month for squaredle.app for the extra features. I play this game while in boring meetings so that my mind doesn't wander and I can keep my concentration on what people are saying.

I'm working on getting better at world geography so I play globle daily.
So I really enjoy this one. Sent it to two of my buddies and now it's a thing. 👍

This is great fun, thank you!
Welp, there went an hour. This game is fantastic!
My first day on this site and it's already paying off. Ha!
Thanks for the recommendation. Loved this and shared it with my dad. I'm sure we'll be sharing scores soon.
Recently I've been learning crosswords and I do the daily Newsday and USA Today puzzles since they're pretty easy, but near the end of the week the Newsday one gets kinda difficult.
I also want to shout-out Forkyz on F-Droid. It's by far the best crossword puzzle app I've used. Pulls from multiple news sites and you can import puzzles as well
Forkyz* it seems. Spent a minute trying to find this. I've been trying to find a good crossword app, thanks!
Whoops haha sorry that was a typo but i fixed it now. Hope you like it!
I learnt Cryptic Crosswords the other year, which are somewhat mind bending. The moment you figure out the answer is often alongside a groan of aaah like you've just got a bad pun.
I tried to get into cryptics a few years ago and was really frustrated. It seemed like you really needed to just know the conventions around the clues rather than relying on general knowledge or vocabulary. I probably aught to try again.
Yes, you definitely do, and there's a lot of them too (e.g.). Some of it is stuff you could conceivably know, even if it's because it's (often outdated) general knowledge, but plenty of it is very cryptic-specific. It does end up being like in-jokes and, I suppose, part of the pleasure.
The Guardian do a fairly accessible crossword for beginners: Guardian Quiptic, as well as the series Cryptic crosswords for beginners.
You can find the answers and explanations on fifteensquared.net which you will need at first! When I started I would do as much as I could then try to read as little of the answers as possible to get myself unstuck. Sometimes the answer would elicit a "well how the f was I supposed to get that?" but less so nowadays.
Alright, well you've convinced me to at least give the Guardian beginner's puzzles another try. I'll report back if I throw my PC through a window.
Good luck!
is there a source for NY Times ones? I'm currently using https://downforacross.com/ which is pretty good on both mobile and desktop, but I'd like something that doesn't require constant internet connection, and this one freaks out when you're in spotty area and disconnect for a second.
Not that i know of, but you can use something like the crossword scraper extension them import it to the app.
If you find a source, please let me know!

I like Waffle -- you get five stars if you optimize your moves (leaving 5 swaps remaining when you're done)
This one is wild. Starting to get the hang of it.
Well, this has just been added to my Daily Games tab group!
Heardle. Like Wordle but for music.
Hooked. Immediately. Great recommendation.
My girlfriend and I do like 10 of these every night.
Turns out I don't know anything about music before the 1980s, nor after the 1990s.

Quordle (both standard and sequential) Foximax Chronophoto
You just reminded me I haven't played Wordle in a while lol
I've been playing https://duotrigordle.com/. It's like 32 wordles at once. But despite how that sounds, it's actually easier than Wordle.
The other one I've been playing with a friend is https://framed.wtf/ for figuring out movies by scene.
Thanks I just lost a good 40 minutes sleep to Framed. 😾
I will have to pick that up daily I guess.
You're welcome 😅 I usually do it first thing over my morning hot beverage. Less thinking before bed that way.

I do NY Times crosswords. quite challenging as an ESL, but very satisfying. so far I've only been able to solve Monday or Tuesday ones, and I still use the "check puzzle" helper to see how many words I got wrong when I'm stuck, but I don't have to look up stuff online anymore!

I try to get in a game of Contexto every day at work when things are slow.
The goal is to find a secret word based on how similar the words you have already guessed is.
You do get unlimited guesses though which is nice.
it's pretty challenging but very rewarding when you finally get it.
Just tried it, it is fun!

I'm a big fan of Redactle.
My best score so far is 1 guess. Can't remember what clue I spotted in the pre-cleared words, but guessed that the answer was 'Ball', and it was. On average though, I'm closer to 60 guesses or so.

I like puzzlemoji, instead of guessing something yourself, you get a movie title and have to provide three Emoji as a hint for ChatGPT to guess the movie.
Wordle. The Daily game on the Dominion mobile app.
If you like wordle you should try quordle.
I'm starting to play this game called Guessdle that you can guess an object/place/food. It uses AI to determine if what you asked is right or not until you finished guessing the thing. It's pretty much cool though.

I played Overwatch daily for about 5 years, but Blizzard had to go and fuck that up
