Alternatives to 'Wordle'

Few things are more thrilling than being engrossed in the latest Internet fad, and the latest game fad is Wordle. The addictive game gives you a new puzzle to solve every day, but if you can't wait and can't get enough, here are some of the greatest Wordle alternatives.

You've got a lot of knockoff alternatives to select from, as you might anticipate. However, we recommend trying out some of the more... inventive variants, which preserve the basic game principles while also adding a few additional features and rules. We're confident you'll find one (or several) fresh and exciting ways to pass the time in between your daily Wordle puzzles!

Hello Wordl is the most similar alternative.

Hello Wordl (Free) is only available on the web, much like the original. The game even has an on-screen keyboard, six guess attempts, and the same colour scheme to signify proper letters, correct placement, and used letters.

This version of the game, on the other hand, allows you to play an unlimited number of random puzzles. You can also select the number of letters you want to play with, which ranges from four to eleven. That's ideal if you're looking for a little more challenge!

SpellTower is a fun app alternative.

Want to get your Wordle fix from the comfort of your phone? We completely comprehend. SpellTower (free, with in-app purchases) for Android and iOS is an easy and engaging method to play "guess the word" with a fun twist. This game combines Wordle with Tetris and word searches. It also offers 11 interesting game modes to select from, including Tower Mode, Daily Tower Mode, Puzzle Mode, Zen Mode, and Bubble Puzzle, as well as the chance to earn rewards.

To play, you must find words to clear the tiles while racing against the clock and avoiding the letters reaching the top. You'll be competing against yourself for the best score, best word, and highest number of words found, in addition to the clock.

Online Lingo is a simpler web option.

Do you want a simpler version of Wordle that gives you useful instructions as you go? You should look at Online Lingo. This web-only option gives you the option of a five-letter or six-letter puzzle, as well as a bright and colourful background to play from. But don't get too comfortable—Online Lingo's hints aren't greyed out for letters you've previously used, so you'll have to keep track of them as you play.

Absurdle as an Adversarial Alternative

My favourite Wordle variant is Absurdle (Free), which pokes fun at the game's overall concept. It functions in a similar manner to the original, and even use the same word lists. What's the catch, then? While Absurdle makes it appear as if you're trying to guess a single secret word, the game actually evaluates all possible secret words that fit your guesses thus far. Slowly, that list is whittled down, but instead of giving you only six guesses, this version works to extend the game and heighten the stress.

The inventor of the web-only game described the AI programme as "very evasive." They suggest that a single round should span more than a dozen turns, and that you should put up your best effort in order to "push the game to give up important information and back it into a corner" in order to win. Buckle up, because this isn't your grandfather's Wordle.

It's gamified, and it's got cats in it: Letter to a Kitty

Kitty Letter (Free) is a cat-centric word game from the creators of Exploding Kittens that will have you pawing at your smartphone screen in no time! In it, you'll compete against other players to decode words, acquire power-ups, and prevent your cat-hoarding neighbour from destroying your home.

You can play one-on-one online games with friends or strangers, or you can go head-to-head in the single-player campaign. It's the best of both worlds: word games and kitten cuteness! What more could we possibly want?

Just a single letter to guess: Letterle

If the strain of having to guess the correct word in only six trials is too much for you, try Letterle (Free). The stress of having to find an entire word is reduced to a single letter with this semi-sarcastic Wordle alternative. It gives you a full 26 chances to guess the correct letter, making it extremely difficult to lose. It's fantastic!
