Love Wordle? Try these 10 fun word game spinoffs

Want to know what the worst thing about Wordle is? When you finish the day’s puzzle.

Each day, a new five-letter word is shown, and fans have six chances to guess it. Maybe they get it right away (yeah, right). Maybe they just don’t get it.

No matter how we finish, the next day’s Wordle puzzle will have to fill the empty space in our minds.

There are now numerous ways to get your Wordle fix as a result of Wordle’s popularity, which led to The New York Times purchasing it.

What is the 16 word Wordle game? Wordle is a game where you try to guess 16 words at once using 21 guesses of 5 letters each. This game is more challenging than others of its kind, but it will nonetheless provide a thrilling experience.

What are the top 5 least used letters in Wordle? The least common letters in all words are the usual suspects: J, Q, Z, and X, and it’s unlikely any five-letter Wordle word would contain any of those characters. Although the letters F, V, and K are rare, they have a better chance of appearing in one of the five available Wordle places.

We’ve listed the 10 top variations of our favorite word game:

Word Master

Just like Wordle, Word Master gives you six chances to guess the five-letter word. Depending on the letter, the color of each letter on each guess changes. The green letters are right and are where they should be. There are yellow letters in the word, but they are not where they should be, and there are no grey letters in the word.

The main difference is that you can play as many rounds as you like. You can also change how hard the game is, from easy to hard.

Wheeldle

Wheeldle is like Word Master in that you can do as many word puzzles as you want. The game encourages players to get on a roll and see how many puzzles they can solve in a row. It also has a really cool old-school video game feel to it.

Dordle

Maybe Wordle is just too easy for you? If you’re looking for a game where you’ll have to solve two Wordle problems simultaneously, check out Dordle. A single guess may solve two separate puzzles, each with potentially different results. One Dordle per day is the standard, but free Dordles allow you to play as much as you choose.

Quordle

Okay, so Dordle is also a game for kids. Quordle is a variant in which you solve four Wordle problems simultaneously. Practice mode or the daily puzzle are both available.

Crosswordle

This takes the popular website Wordle and converts it into a crossword. In Crosswordle, the bottom word of a four-row word puzzle serves as the starting point for the problem. There are several colored squares representing empty rows above it. If it’s green, it means it occurs at the very end of the word. If the letter is shown on a yellow tile, it is in the last word but not in the expected location.

Absurdle

A malicious version of Wordle. Ridiculous exerts every effort to confuse you and prevent you from understanding what it means. The game is designed to give out as little information about the word as possible with each response. The good news is that you may try as many times as you want until you get it correctly. If you’re into self-inflicted hardship, there’s a “hard mode” as well.

Hello Wordl

Maybe the use of just five-letter terms is insufficient. In Hey Wordl, the same principles apply, except that you may use up to 11 letters to form a word. The level of difficulty may also be changed, from easy to very challenging.

Lewdle

It’s like Wordle, but for those who use foul language. Playing Lewdle at the workplace is a bad idea.

Heardle

Heardle is like a mix of Wordle and Name That Tune. The music is delivered to the player at six intervals of one second each. The objective is to identify the song from the previews provided.

Worldle

Love geography? Can you identify the Maldives from a silhouette alone? If so, you may want to check out Worldle, which gives you a silhouette of a nation and six guesses before revealing its identity. Your progress towards the correct location will be shown as a distance in kilometers after each estimate.

What are the spinoffs of the Wordle game?

Wordle has made its way into common parlance. A minimum of our 5-letter vocabulary. I’m over the moon about it. Even better, it has inspired a huge offshoot industry. Yet many of these offshoots are obscure and difficult to track down. These are the results; there are now more than 90. If you keep providing me with suggestions, I can keep expanding this article.
