Games Like Semantle

Games like Semantle score a guess by meaning. Semantle hides one word and returns a similarity number that gets warmer as you approach it. Contexto uses the same hunt and reports a rank. Chainle asks you to extend an association instead of closing on one target. Connections shows the words and hides the groups. Wordle and Absurdle still care which letters match. Redactle fills a word in only when it really occurs in the article. Krillion, on this site, scores how uncommon an accepted name was. That is rarity, not a distance between meanings. Semantle's number stays on semantle.com.

• Contexto

  Words

  The same hidden-word hunt, with a rank instead of a similarity score.

  Reach the hidden word by guessing. The rank tells you how near your word sits.

• Chainle

  Words

  You extend a chain of associations. There is no single target getting warmer.

  Continue a chain of associated words. Each step has to connect to the word before it.

• Connections

  Words

  The words are on the board. You name the groups, not a secret neighbor.

  Sort sixteen words into four groups of four. A wrong group costs one of your four mistakes.

• Redactle

  Trivia

  A guess fills in only where that word actually sits in the hidden article.

  Guess the Wikipedia article. The page is blacked out except for common words.

• Wordle

  Words

  Letters and positions, which a meaning score never tells you.

  Guess the five-letter word in six tries. Each guess marks letters as hit, present, or absent.

• Absurdle

  Words

  A letter grid whose target keeps moving. Meaning is not the feedback.

  A Wordle-style grid where the answer shifts to stay consistent with your guesses for as long as it can.

• Krillion

  Trivia

  A category and a name. Points follow rarity on our list, not semantic distance.

  Name one thing that fits the prompt. Rarer accepted answers score more, and our copy lets you play another round.

• Waffle

  Words

  You repair words you can see. Nothing is hidden behind a warmer number.

  Swap letters in a grid until each row and column is a word. You have a limited number of swaps.
