Daily, I play Wordle and 7 Little Words when I first get up, but I was wondering what other types of quick games like that that people play regularly.
Does Duolingo count as a game?
Depends on your approach. I considered creating a community ‘competitive duolingo’, but since we already have two duo comms I decided against that:
Genshin and honkai star rail, send help
Daily Dadish (iOS linked) has been a cute daily platforming challenge. Outside of super tricky levels, I can usually get the “best” time to collect the star in 10m or so, and the controls are pretty solid for being a touchscreen.
Squardle and Quordle are my follow ups after WORDLE. Both great games.
I played Overwatch daily for about 5 years, but Blizzard had to go and fuck that up
I play Mech Arena every day. Usually only a couple of games. I never played Overwatch so I can’t compare them, but I’m enjoying Mech Arena so far.
https://www.nytimes.com/games/prototype/digits is one of my daily brain exercises.
I just lost a streak of 250+ yesterday on wordle :(.
I do NY Times crosswords. quite challenging as an ESL, but very satisfying. so far I’ve only been able to solve Monday or Tuesday ones, and I still use the “check puzzle” helper to see how many words I got wrong when I’m stuck, but I don’t have to look up stuff online anymore!
Yeah, they’re tough. My wife and I do them together and can usually do up to Wednesdays without too much help, then things get ugly.
The NYT crossword is challenging enough as a native English speaker.
there’s another layer of difficulty when you’re not from the US, as it often requires you to know stuff from US history and culture that you don’t learn and know about abroad. like tHE FUCK KIND OF A THREE LETTER ORG DID NIXON CREATE, WATERGATE IS LONGER THAN THREE LETTERS
I’ve been playing https://duotrigordle.com/. It’s like 32 wordles at once. But despite how that sounds, it’s actually easier than Wordle.
The other one I’ve been playing with a friend is https://framed.wtf/ for figuring out movies by scene.
I’m working on getting better at world geography so I play globle daily.
Then you got to try https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/
I’m a big fan of Redactle.
My best score so far is 1 guess. Can’t remember what clue I spotted in the pre-cleared words, but guessed that the answer was ‘Ball’, and it was. On average though, I’m closer to 60 guesses or so.
Thanks for showing me this. Now I wasted most of my day on this. Really fun.
It’s an absolute time suck if you move from just doing the shared daily puzzle to just going ham on random articles. I love it immensely.
Travle! It’s X country to X country, randomised daily.
Heardle. Like Wordle but for music.
I like to play the NYT mini crossword every day. I like asking other people for advice on it when I get stuck so it’s both a fun daily game and a good way to do a bit of socializing.
I still play Wordle daily, but I’m also a big fan of Cell Tower and Worble
