There are a few threads already for Wordle and some of the games it inspired, but at times in those threads other clones or variations are mentioned that are quickly buried as people continue sharing their results with the day’s puzzle. I didn’t see a thread collecting them all, if I missed it, apologies, point me in that direction.
By all means keep sharing your results in those threads, but it seems useful to have a thread just for discovery and sharing of the different daily puzzle games. To editorialize slightly, ★ means I play it regularly.
★ Wordle - the original!
What if Wordle, but more?
Dordle, Quordle, Octordle, and I know there were more.
★ Heardle - six guesses to identify a song by slowly playing more and more of the intro.
★ Framed - six guesses to identify a movie from frames of the film.
★ Actorle - eight guesses to identify an actor from a partial listing of obscured film titles they’ve been in. It’s more complicated, read the How to Play on the site.
Posterdle - the guess that movie poster game - A pixelated movie poster slowly resolves with a 20 second countdown. Pause it to make a guess.
Moviedle: The Movie Guessing Game - Watch an entire movie sped up into a one second clip. Subsequent guesses compress the film into slightly longer clips.
Redactle - identify a random Wikipedia page which has been redacted of all but basic prepositions and punctuation by guessing one word at a time, revealing anything you guess correctly. Take as many guesses as you need.
Semantle - Guess the secret word by how semantically similar it thinks your guess is to the secret word. Bang your head against the wall for as long as it takes!
So what else have you found and enjoyed?
More suggestions from the thread:
Worldle - identify countries and territories.
Globle - identifying countries visualized on a globe with “hot and cold” feedback on guesses.
Absurdle @ Things Of Interest - where the game changes the target word to avoid your guesses as much as possible.
