Branches

Branches It is another puzzle owned by the New York Times but this game is more like a word search than Wordle and Connections. This game offers a topic each day to help you find the words in the grid. Words in Strands can appear forward, backward, top to bottom, or any number of ways in a traditional word search, and words can also be shaped like an “L” or have a zigzag shape.

punk

“Lewdle is a game about rude words,” reads this game’s content warning. “If you are likely to be offended by the use of profanity, vulgarity or obscenity, it is probably not for you.” Translation: It’s Wordle but with bad words. The words range from mild words – like feces – to words that would make a sailor blush. Fortunately, despite this game’s content warning, Slurs are not included. Like Wordle, the grey, yellow and green blocks are used in the same way and there is only one puzzle per day. So go ahead and let the bad words flow!

Antonym

Are you tired of seeing those grey, yellow and green blocks plastered all over your social media? Try Antiwordle. While Wordle wants you to guess a word in as few attempts as possible, Antiwordle wants you to avoid the word by guessing as many times as possible. When you guess, the letters will turn grey, yellow or red. Gray means the letter is not in the word and cannot be used again, yellow means the letter is in the word and must be included in every subsequent guess, and red means the letter is in the exact position within the word and locked in place. If you can use every letter on the keyboard without getting the correct word, you win. Honestly, I found this version of Wordle to be much more difficult than the original.

You can play Antonym On any web browser.

silly

Absurdle describes itself as the “hostile version” of Wordle. While Wordle nudges you in the right direction with every guess, Absurdle tries to avoid giving you the correct answer. According to the game’s website, “With each guess, Absurdle reveals as little information as possible, changing the secret word if necessary.” silly He doesn’t choose a word At the beginning of the game, the player must guess. Instead, it uses the player’s guesses to narrow down the list of words in an attempt to make the game last as long as possible. The final word might not even include a yellow letter from one of your previous guesses either. You can guess as many times as you want, which is useful, and the best score you can get is four. I listen!
