Updated by Jupiter Hadley on January 12th, 2024 - Added new games and changed some of the older titles.


There are a lot of games which can be very time-consuming, which is why it's nice to have smaller and quicker games like Wordle. The game is simple and fits well among the other content that the NY Times website has to offer. Like the daily crosswords of yore, Wordle provides a blank word every day for players to guess. They can sign on to the site, attempt to guess the word with any letters and positions being highlighted to eliminate options. Each day brings a new word to give the mind a fast sharpening.

Though the game is still quite fresh having been released late in 2021, it has grown in popularity, leading to a number of spin-offs. For those who can't get their fix of daily puzzles from Wordle alone, there are plenty of similar games to sate that craving.

If you're a real fan of similar titles, there is a definitive list of the best Android word games, but also the best iOS word games. As each has 25 games included, you'll undoubtedly find something to suit you. 

Now, let's move onto the list of games like Wordle that will tickle the same part of your brain.

1
ABSURDLE

ABSURDLE

Have you ever thought that Wordle is too easy for you? Well, Absurdle is a more challenging version of the game. Instead of trying to help you figure out the word, Absurdle is actively trying to figure out a word you won't guess. It doesn't pick a word at the beginning of your round, instead, it's using your words to narrow down a list of words, making the game last as long as possible. You can guess as many times as you want and this game will take more time to play!

2
High Score Day

High Score Day

Wordle covers a lot of words, but it can still feel overwhelming. Sometimes, it's best to have something that is more niche that people will feel more confident about. That's where High Score Day comes in by posing a video game title for people to try and guess from the given screenshot. If you are a fan of retro games or have an eye for video games, this can be an interesting challenge.

3
Queerdle

Queerdle

While pride month may have ended, the community continues to remain strong and active. There is a lot of LGBTQ+ content out there, including a Wordle-like game called Queerdle. People can sign on to try and guess a word connected to the LGBTQ+ community.

4
Lookdle

Lookdle

Many people are more visual-based so Wordle may not be the most appealing daily challenge. For something that makes use of pictures, people can check out Lookdle. This presents a pixelated picture every day of a celebrity with each guess making it clearer to boost chances. If you know your celebrities, this is a fun daily challenge.

5
LORDLE OF THE RINGS

LORDLE OF THE RINGS

If you are a fan of Lord of the Rings, Lordle of the Rings is a LOTR version of Wordle. This game will really test your knowledge as there are lots of lesser-known words that can come up. There is only one puzzle presented each and every day, giving you a reason to come back and try tomorrow. It's a great option for fans of Tolkien!

6
Primel

Primel

If you are much better with guessing numbers than you are guessing words, then Primel might be a game you'd like to play daily. Instead of trying to guess a word, you will be looking to guess a 5-digit long code in 6 guesses! To make things a bit more doable, it is specifically a prime number you are looking for. Much like Wordle, you will see a number highlighted in green if it is correct and in the correct spot, yellow if it's correct but in the wrong spot, and grey if it is not in any spot.

7
WordGuessr

WordGuessr

If you have now thought of all of the five-letter words you will ever think of and want words with more letters or even fewer letters, WordGuessr allows you to choose the number of letters, between three and seven. This gives a wider range of words that you can end up doing, especially if you want more of a challenge and to try something a bit longer!

8
Quordle

Quordle

If you've ever wanted to play several rounds of the game all at once, Quordle allows you to guess four different Wordle levels all at once. You will be typing the same words into all four of the challenges, seeing which letters go along with which ones. This game feels quite challenging, especially if you get stuck guessing for one of the words and use up changes on the other ones!

9
Nerdle

Nerdle

Maybe, you are more interested in math problems than you are in solving words. In Nerdle, you will be looking to find a long-form equation and its solution. You'll need to start with an equation and know the solution already, as the game will correct you if you start getting your own problems wrong! It's a neat twist that feels quite different from Wordle itself.

10
Globle

Globle

We don't want to just have word-based and math-based challenges on this list for your daily bit of brain exercise, so we would also suggest Globle, though it's a bit different in context. Every day, you can guess a country, looking to guess the right one in as few guesses as possible. The more red the country that you have guessed is, the closer you are to the correct answer.

Globle is closing out the list of games similar to Wordle that you can play every day. Make some suggestions below for other players in case we missed anything that you prefer.
