Games like Wordle
Six daily puzzles worth adding to your morning — one word game, one number game, and a few that leave letters behind entirely.
What makes Wordle work isn't the words — it's the shape of the thing: one puzzle a day, the same for everyone, finished in a few minutes, and shareable without spoiling it. These games all keep that shape while changing what you're actually solving.
Brainblox
Logic / spatialTwo puzzles a day built from eight painted wooden blox: break a hidden code with traffic-light feedback, then build a square wall that satisfies three fresh rules. Three lives per puzzle and a spoiler-free score to share.
Wordle
WordThe one that started the daily-puzzle habit. Six guesses at a five-letter word, with green and yellow tiles narrowing it down.
Connections
Word groupingSort sixteen words into four hidden groups. Deceptively hard because most words plausibly fit more than one group.
Nerdle
NumbersWordle for arithmetic — guess the hidden equation using the same colour feedback.
Worldle
GeographyIdentify a country from its silhouette, with distance and direction hints after each guess.
Framed
FilmName the film from a single frame, with another still revealed for each wrong guess.
