Word Games Like Wordle
Word games on this list reset once a day and ask you to do something with language. Wordle hides five letters. Quordle and Octordle hide several words and spend every guess on all of them. Absurdle keeps the grid and moves the target. Connections and Strands start from groups and themes you can see. Spelling Bee and Letter Boxed hand you a tray of letters. Semantle and Contexto throw letter position out and score meaning. Chainle asks for the next association.
DleBox does not host these boards and does not print their answers. The guide on each name says what a turn actually is, then links to the publisher. Waffle is the odd one: the letters are already on the grid and you swap them. The Mini is a small crossword, which is language without a colored row. If you want a round that stays on this site, that game is Krillion, and it is filed under trivia because the prompt is a category rather than a hidden word.
