Games like Wordle — one shared puzzle a day

What makes Wordle work is not the five letters. It is one puzzle a day, the same for everyone, over in a few minutes, with a result you can share without spoiling it. Every game on this page keeps that shape. Daily Word is the five-letter guess in six tries. Word Groups sorts sixteen words into four hidden sets, the way Connections does. Letter Hive is seven letters in a honeycomb with the centre letter in every word, like Spelling Bee. Letter Loop chains words around a square of twelve letters, and Word Weave hides a theme in a letter grid.

Two leave words behind. Daily Atlas is one country a day in six guesses, each answered with a distance and a direction, and Number Rush is sixty seconds of mental arithmetic where everyone gets the same questions in the same order. All seven give everyone the same puzzle on the same date, turn over at your local midnight the way Wordle does, keep your results on your own device, and play in the browser with no download and no account.
