If You Can't Get Enough Of One Wordle A Day, Here Are 8 Variations To Try While You Wait

Now it's much more than a once-a-day five-letter word guess.

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.

Another day, another Wordle. But for some of us, that just isn't enough!

Who would have thought that this five-letter word puzzle would become the latest time-waster to go viral and even earn the noble title of Twitter's first big trend of 2022? It's popularity exploded in just three months of its release to the public in November with just 90 players. Now, it boasts over two million, with 300,000 daily players, according to ABC News.

The premise of Wordle is simple: Guess the random five-letter word of the day in just six tries.

With each attempt, the game tells you if each letter you typed is a correct letter in the right place, which is indicated in green. A letter that exists in the word but is in the wrong place is in yellow, while a letter that is not in the word at all is shown in grey.

The fact that you can only play it once a day makes it oddly satisfying. But what happens after you've played the day's single Wordle?

Here are 8 other Wordle-inspired games if you just can't get enough:

1. Lewdle

The NSFW version of Wordle maintains the five-letter word premise and the six attempts to guess the word, except the right answer is always naughty.

If you're fluent in dirty words then it means you not only have a healthy verbal ability, but it also means this game is perfect for you! Rest assured, Lewdle does not use any slurs, said creator Gary Whitta on Twitter.

2. Sweardle

This spin-off of Wordle where, just like its name suggests, you have to guess the swear word of the day but with four letters instead of five like in the original puzzle. Players are not allowed to guess 'normal' words that are not expletive, making it quite difficult to beat. What's also interesting is that the game also uses expletives from around the world.

3. Absurdle

Created by the pseudonymous coder 'qntm', this variant seems similar to the original game in terms of rules, except the secret word changes with each guess. In the game's explanation, this spin-off is the adversarial version of Wordle, whereby it actively tries to avoid giving you the answer. Quite absurd and evil, really.

Check it out here... if you dare.

4. Evil Wordle

Another evil version of the word game. It allows you to change the length of the word from five to six letters; play a timed version of the puzzle; as well as play in "evil" mode, which allows the game to trick you with hard words.

5. Taylordle

To all the Swifties out there, you now have your own version of Wordle!

The game still uses five-letter words of the day, but within the Swiftie universe, according to The Holy Swift podcast that created the Taylor-themed game.

6. Dordle

If you're ready to take on the word puzzle to new heights, try playing Wordle... times two.

Some have described this variant of the game as "diabolical" because it's essentially like the original except you get seven attempts to guess two different words simultaneously.

7. Hello Wordl

If you still prefer something more similar to the original Wordle but with the option to play more than once a day, then try this variation.

It also gives players the option to change the length of the secret word, four being the minimum and 11 as the maximum. Bored of the same ol' guessing rules? Change the difficulty mode from normal to hard or ultra hard. In hard mode, green letters must stay fixed, and yellow letters must be reused. Ultra hard mode forces players to move yellow letters away from where they were clued, while gray clues must be obeyed.

Play this variant here.
