What's your favourite -dle? (Daily puzzle game?)
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

That was super fun! Thank you for sharing
Thats so cool! Thanks. :)
this was so fun!
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.
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.
"It's really hard to make an abstract idea concrete, so they used marble. " lol
(from the tutorial mystery)
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.
Bandle #578 2/6
๐ฅ๐ฉโฌโฌโฌโฌ
Found: 1/1 (100%)
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!

One word is the key word, every other word is ranked by relatedness, #300 is the 300th closest word, #1 is the correct word.
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.
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.
Oh this is one of those games. But I really like it! Thanks for the suggestion!
This one is very difficult, I only got close thanks to a typo!
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.
My nightly routine before bed:
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 havenโt seen strands before, thatโs exciting! I know itโs beta but I wish it showed up in the games app, hopefully soon
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.
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.
I quite enjoy quordle, its four wordles at once. There's also octordle if you want more of a challenge.
Thank you! I forgot to mention these two.
There's also a 64dle if you're really feeling adventurous
Duotrigordle is pretty good fun
https://travle.earth/ you're given two countries and asked to name the countries in between.
This is a good one, though I was much better at the local version
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
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'.
Hexcodle: https://hexcodle.com/
Guess the colour in RRGGBB hex code.
That's neat, never heard of this.
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.
Same lol, although you should add plusword to the mix, its my favorite
I just want to say that this was a fantastic thread, and thank you for posting. There are some great suggestions in here.
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
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.
Travle is difficult but I'm a little obsessed. Thank you!
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
My wife and I love playing this game together. heardle unlimited Gool!
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.
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.

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.
There has to be better out there (they often tell me things aren't words that absolutely are words) but Wordscapes.
My favorite is plain old wordle.
I'll throw in Griddle, where you have to find high-scoring words on a grid
Betweenle. Shows how close your other guesses are alphabetically, and you try to guess based on that.
I haven't played it in a while (I play Shadow of the Tomb Raider on the train nowadays) but NYT Vertex is fun.
I do:
