What's your favourite -dle? (Daily puzzle game?) - sh.itjust.works

I do the daily wordle, but lately have been liking the murdle and the hexcodle. I’ve tried worldle, but I’m crap at geography. Probably a reason I should play more, but thems be the breaks. Any recommendations?

Hexcodle: hexcodle.com

Guess the colour in RRGGBB hex code.

Hexcodle | The Daily Hexcode Guessing Game!

Can you guess today's hexcode color? Challenge your color instincts and decode the hexcode with Hexcodle! Inspired by Wordle, but for color enthusiasts.

That’s neat, never heard of this.

Murdle: murdle.com

A daily logic puzzle murder mystery.

MURDLE: Daily mystery puzzles by G. T. Karber

Solve a new murder mystery every day!

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 noticed that the code is quite open to check, so currently I’m poking around the code to see what functions to call to reset the puzzle to a specific date or a random generated one.

It’s a bit tricky

So, I have my games on an old phone to not clutter my phone. What I do with these is just change the date on your phone, and that day’s puzzle should unlock for you. But that’s the benefit of having it on another phone so it doesn’t fuck up your messages and other stuff.

P.s. I’m assuming this is played on a phone, if not, just ignore my suggestion, but this could work on any device.

I just played today’s. Maybe I need to play more to really get it. Is it always this trivial?
Mondays are always the easiest level. As the week goes on the difficulty goes up.
Ahh ok cool, I’ll keep at it. Thanks for the recommendation.

"It’s really hard to make an abstract idea concrete, so they used marble. " lol

I quite enjoy challenging my musical knowledge with bandle.app
Guess the song, one instrument at a time

Daily musical game where you guess the song played by the band with the least musicians playing as possible

I thought I’d be terrible but got it in 2. I mean, it is a very iconic bass line, but I’m still proud. Thank you for the suggestion!

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.

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

Thats so cool! Thanks. :)

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.

Travle is difficult but I’m a little obsessed. Thank you!
I used to do 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.
Cardle | A Daily Car Quiz

A daily quiz for car fans, inspired by Wordle. Guess the car from the photos. Each wrong guess gives more clues.

Seems cool but the rules are opaque and you can’t retry, which is a combo that means I’ll never touch this again.

Neat! I’ve always been a fan of roguelikes!

I’m surprised I didn’t see 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.
GuessThe.Game - Your daily video game guessing puzzle!

Try to name the game shown in the screenshots in 6 guesses or less!

I quite enjoy quordle, its four wordles at once. There’s also octordle if you want more of a challenge.
Quordle

Put your skills to the test and solve four words at once! You have 9 guesses to solve all four words. A new Quordle available each day to solve.

Merriam Webster

Thank you! I forgot to mention these two.

There’s also a 64dle if you’re really feeling adventurous

Duotrigordle is pretty good fun

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.

Mathler – Daily Math Puzzle Game

Play Mathler, the daily math Wordle-style puzzle. Guess the hidden equation in 6 tries. Free, fun, and brain-boosting.

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.

Absurdle

An adversarial version of Wordle

Waffle. It’s like wordle+jumble in a waffle shape. You need to solve the puzzle in the least number of moves possible.

Technically less of a puzzle and more of a song guessing game. Still fun, nonetheless: Heardle (Rock version).

Also try to play AntGame.io at least once a day to get a decent score.

Smartle - Your Daily Word Puzzle

Smartle is a word puzzle game where you need to rearrange letters into correct words. There will be a new word quiz every day.

The NYT games are my morning ritual but I haven’t seen strands before, that’s exciting! I know it’s beta but I wish it showed up in the games app, hopefully soon

www.contexto.me

One word is the key word, every other word is ranked by relatedness, #300 is the 300th closest word, #1 is the correct word.

Contexto

Can you guess the secret word with the help of AI? At each guess it will tell you how close you are to the answer.

Oh this is one of those games. But I really like it! Thanks for the suggestion!
This one is very difficult, I only got close thanks to a typo!

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

Semantle

travle.earth you’re given two countries and asked to name the countries in between.

I’ll throw in Griddle, where you have to find high-scoring words on a grid

A while ago I used to play Redactle, 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
Redactle | Wikipedia based Puzzle Game

The most popular, fully featured Redactle game! Daily puzzles, multiplayer, device sync, smart word matching and more. Your mission is to unveil the title of the redacted Wikipedia pages in as few guesses as possible. You can also play in Redactle Unlimited mode with no restrictions on the number of puzzles you can play every day.

Redactle
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’.
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.
Eldrow – Wordle with reversed roles

There has to be better out there (they often tell me things aren’t words that absolutely are words) but Wordscapes.
I haven’t played it in a while (I play Shadow of the Tomb Raider on the train nowadays) but NYT Vertex is fun.
Interword. It’s a game where you guess a word based on how close it is alphabetically to your other guesses.
INTERWORD - an alphabetical word guessing game
