Played by over 300,000 people daily, wordle has become a popular pastime for many across the world. However, there are countless other games to be played. In today’s blog, I wanted to share some other games that you can play. These not only serve to add some fun into your life, but also improve your vocabulary, geography, problem solving skills, and much more.
1. Worldle
While this game is spelled similar to Wordle, it could not be more different. This game is a great pastime for individuals looking to improve their geography.
Rules: Every 24 hours, there will be a silhouette of a certain country from across the world. Within 6 attempts, an individual will have to guess the name of the country. After each guess, a percentage will inform the player how close their guess was to the actual country. In addition, a small arrow will also let them know where the country is in regards to their guess, along with a distance measurement.
2. Heardle
Just as it sounds, this game allows players to test how much they truly know about songs.
Rules: After playing a certain song chosen from a list of popular artists for 1 second, a player has to guess the name. Given a total of 6 attempts, each wrong guess allows the player to listen to the song for a longer and longer period of time after.
3. Crosswordle
Similiar to Wordle, this game allows individuals to test their vocabulary by combining a crossword aspect into the regular game. During crosswordle, players are challenged to guess two words that intersect with each other to create a crossword.
Rules: Similiar to wordle, green, gray and yellow blocks are used to represent certain things. However, unlike the regular game, crosswordle gives you an unlimited amount of attempts to guess the words. While there is a new one each day, this game also allows individuals to create their own to share with others.
4. Primel
If you would rather work with numbers instead of letters, Primel is perfect for you!
Rules: Primel gives you six attempts to guess a 5 digit prime number. Similiar to wordle, the game incorporates gray, yellow and green blocks to depict certain things. However, the game only allows you to guess prime numbers, creating a harder puzzle to solve.
5. Nerdle
Similiar to Primel, Nerdle is perfect for those looking for a challenge involving numbers.
Rules: Rather than guessing a number, Nerdle challenges individuals to guess the equation. Each guess must include an equal sign and follow proper order of operation rules. After every guess, the boxes will change a certain color to signal something. Black boxes will indicate that the given number or sign is not in the equation. Green boxes will indicate that the given number or sign is correct and in the proper position. Finally, purple boxes will indicate that the given number or sign is a part of the equation but in the wrong position. The equations always change every 8 hours, giving you plenty of challenges in a day.
That’s it! These were 5 games that will challenge you while also forcing you to learn something new along the way. I hope you give one of these a try and have fun!
