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.
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.

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 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.

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.
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:
- Smartle (simple word game)
- Chronophoto (guess the year five photos were taken)
- TimeGuessr (guess the year and location five photos were taken)
- Connections (NYTimes categorization game)
- Spelling Bee (NYTimes letter game)
- Hurdle (basically five linked Wordles)
- Wordle
- Strands (new NYTimes letter game)
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 havenβt seen strands before, thatβs exciting! I know itβs 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.
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
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.

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'.
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.
Hexcodle: https://hexcodle.com/
Guess the colour in RRGGBB hex code.
That's neat, never heard of this.
I just want to say that this was a fantastic thread, and thank you for posting. There are some great suggestions in here.
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.
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 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.

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.
My favorite is plain old wordle.
And here are my routine during breaks:
- Strands : Navigate a 6-by-8 letter grid, searching for themed words that are ingeniously interconnected
- Flagle Explorer : An innovative flag-guessing game that identify regions through flag fragments
- Waffle : The object of the game is to form six words correctly using no more than 15 moves
- Globe Map Game : An educational geography puzzle platform that combines gaming with learning
