Wordle alternatives offer fresh twists on the classic word puzzle, with Canuckle leading the list for its Canadian flair, followed by Quordle, Dordle, Absurdle, and Waffle for varied challenges.
Canuckle is a daily word puzzle inspired by Wordle, but it uses words related to Canada. Each answer is a uniquely Canadian term, location, or cultural reference. The game follows the same rules as Wordle: you have six attempts to guess a five-letter word. After each guess, the game provides color-coded feedback to show which letters are correct, in the correct place, or not in the word at all.
Quordle increases the difficulty by having players solve four Wordle puzzles at the same time. You have nine guesses to find all four words. Each guess applies to all four grids, so you must think strategically about which letters to use. The feedback for each word is shown separately, helping you track your progress on each puzzle.
Dordle is a Wordle alternative where you solve two puzzles at once using a single set of guesses. You get seven attempts to find both five-letter words. Each guess is applied to both puzzles, and you receive separate feedback for each.
Absurdle is a unique twist on Wordle. Instead of picking a single word for you to guess, the game changes the answer as you play, making it as difficult as possible for you to win. The game narrows down the possible answers based on your guesses, but it always tries to avoid letting you find the correct word until you have eliminated all other options.
Waffle is a Wordle-inspired game where you rearrange letters on a grid to form six correct words-three across and three down. You have 15 moves to swap letters and complete the puzzle. After each move, the game shows which letters are in the correct position and which need to be moved.
Octordle takes the multi-grid concept even further. Players must solve eight Wordle puzzles at the same time, using only 13 guesses. Each guess applies to all grids, and feedback is shown for each word. Octordle is for advanced players who want the ultimate challenge.
Hello Wordl lets you play as many puzzles as you want, whenever you want. You can also adjust the word length from four to eleven letters, making the game customizable for different skill levels. The rules are the same as Wordle, but there’s no daily limit.
Crosswordle combines Wordle with crossword puzzles. You must guess two words that cross each other in a grid. The game provides feedback for each guess, and you can guess as many times as you need. Crosswordle offers a new puzzle every day and allows users to create their own puzzles to share.
WordGuessr is similar to Wordle but offers more customization. You can choose the length of the word and play multiple times a day. There is also a challenge mode where you can send puzzles to friends.
Heardle is a music-based Wordle alternative. Instead of guessing words, you listen to the opening seconds of a song and try to guess the title. Each incorrect guess reveals more of the song. Heardle is popular with music lovers and offers a new challenge every day.
