I have caught the Wordle bug, folks! I also caught the Framed bug, and then I caught the Waffle bug! Then I watched this video and caught MANY MANY MORE BUGGGSSSSS

[video=youtube;-MJNU8o-1NQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MJNU8o-1NQ[/video]

So yeah these one-a-day puzzles have become a steady part of my morning routine.

(https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html) Wordle - guess a word! I have guessed 122 words, not to brag or anything. I just know a lot of words, that's all.

(https://wafflegame.net/) Waffle - guess 6 words! More gamey than Wordle, and also usually faster. It's nice.

For the film buffs:

(https://framed.wtf/) Framed - guess the movie based on increasingly recognizable stills. This one is very good.

(https://www.moviedle.app/) Moviedle - bad name, decent game. An entire movie is compressed into 1 second, can you still identify it? If not you get a 2sec version, then 3sec, etc. It's fine.

(https://boxofficega.me/) Box Office Game - easily the most elaborate one of these. Guess the top 5 movies at the American box office for a given date. You can unlock taglines, actors, genre, etc, but this reduces your final score. Some movies are tough because sometimes it's some real stinker that only snuck into the box office for like a week and then promptly got forgotten by the world after that. It's fun, but also takes a bit too long for my liking, not sure I'll keep playing it.

Music:

(https://www.heardle.app/) Heardle - you guys like MUSIC? Guess the song based on the first 1 second, then 2 sec, then 4 sec, etc. This one's alright, but unlike Framed where you still might be able to guess a movie even if you haven't seen it thanks to cultural osmosis, it's really a matter of "have I heard this song or not?"


You folks play any of these? Are there any other really good ones you'd like to recommend?

I play Heardle (it's tough!) and its little sisters (https://heardle80s.com/) 80's Heardle and (https://90s-heardle.glitch.me/) 90's Heardle. Whoever is responsible for the 90's song selections doesn't seem to like the same artists that I listened to back then though. 80's Heardle seems a bit easier as the songs are often somewhat bigger hits. (and sometimes they're songs that I've never heard in my life)

I think these things are great when you're able to play against someone else and compare notes. Wordle / Quordle and Octordle are the basics for my wife and I - the simplest principles but enough to test your vocabulary and get frustrated if you miss something obvious that the other person got quickly.

80's Heardle is nice, thanks for the recc, Tomi! Got today's in 11 seconds.



I tried the Swedish clones at some point too, but didn't like the way Ordlig deletes the word if it's not a real word. (https://ordel.se/) Ordel.se plays better imo.

edit:

Did pretty good today!

Wordle - 3 lines
Framed - 1 frame
Heardle - 4 seconds
Moviedle - 1 second

Wordle and Quordle are my usuals.

As a one-time special, I played (and won) a game of (https://64ordle.au/) 64-dle, where you have 70 guesses to get 64 simultaneous wordles. Not doing that again, but I can recommend trying it at least once!

I do Framed regularly, but mostly I've not seen the film, so it doesn't go well :)

For the geography buffs, there's also (https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/) Worldle and ( https://globle-game.com/) Globle.

And obviously (https://heardle80s.com/) Heardle 80s > Heardle.
