What's the Wordle?!

Gf got it in two. Took me 4.

 

I got it in four but I also got the last three letters in two, so that helped.

 

If I get all five of quordle and Octordle, I'm hanging it up. I can't stand the daily addiction routine.

Anybody try Actorle or Workdle? The former has an Immaculate Grid like game about movies and actors and other actor related games. The latter is a game guessing countries by their map.

 

I’m trying (unsuccessfully) to find Workdle. Can you send a link? Sounds interesting.

 

Sorry. It's Worldle - Guess the Country

There is https://globle-game.com/game , but it is just trying to guess a country with each guess showing how distant the countries are.

 

Other free games that I like:

NYT has a weekly quiz on Fridays summarizing the events of the past week.

Wordle, Connections and the Mini, of course.

I don’t have a games subscription, so I can’t play the full Bee. But my gf does, and she works the Bee off and on throughout the day, and then later on asks me to help get her to Queen Bee or Genius.

WaPo has three interesting games:
1) On The Record - Quotes from the week. Mon-Fri game with a betting option on Friday.
2) Keyword - trying to solve one horizontal six letter word by using the six vertical clues. Interesting form of a mini-crossword.
3) The Mini Meta crossword. Six mini crosswords Mon-Sat. The Meta is a puzzle available on Saturday if you solved the six Minis. Basically, you take one answer from each of the Mon-Fri grids to create a five word hint/question. Then you word search through the Saturday grid to find the answer, spelling it out in a continuous streak of letters with right angle turns (no diagonals) allowed as you trace out the answer.

Any other good free puzzles out there?

 

Streak at 1 - hahaha.

 

The New Yorker’s Name Drop is fun and I think free. I enjoy their puzzle as well.

Slate limits the articles which you can look at for free (I dropped Slate Plus) but their news quiz is fun.

 

Nerdle - the daily numbers game

You try to guess a math equation with similar rules of Wordle. It gets old. (= is almost always next to last in the equation).

As far as math games go, Dell’s Cross Sums has always been my favorite.

And, screw Sudoku. Fun at first, now just monotonous.

 

I can't solve the highest level of the NYT sudoku. It's very frustrating. There is some logic I can't figure out.

 

The hardest levels require you to track everything - I cross off impossibilities as I funded them from my teeny list of numbers in each box.

That said, the absolute hardest requires
basic trial and error at some point. I often use a different color ink/pencil so I can undo all of the paths an incorrect guess propagated through out the puzzle.
