Just in case you aren’t familiar with the game already, we have also talked about how to play it. But for the purposes of today, I’ll assume you already play it (and want more like it). One last thing: nine out of these ten games can be played online. One is an actual app, but believe me when I tell you that it’s absolutely worth the storage space in your phone. So without further ado, let’s look at ten apps like Wordle you can play for free! So those are ten of the best apps like Wordle! If you’re looking for more word games, here are some amazing board games, puzzle books, and apps! Why should you play Byrdle? It’s a fun, short game that you can play for a few minutes each day in addition to other word games. It’s very similar to Wordle in how you play it, but you can also change some things like the difficulty to keep things interesting. Plus, it can be quite educational at times! Who knew what or who Zadok is? I didn’t! Why should you play SWordle? It’s definitely THE word game to test your Star Wars knowledge. Plus, even if you’re not the most hardcore of fans, you can still have a blast playing it. Especially with the list of suggestions. Small bonus time! There are also games like this but for Lord of the Rings fans and Taylor Swift fans too. Why should you play Lewdle? It’s a super quirky and fun spin on the Wordle idea but with some added difficulty. It’s definitely a bit harder to guess words that are lewd enough for the game. But it’s also very fun to come up with those words. The overall experience is hilarious for those who have the “potty-mouth” kind of humor. Why should you play Hello Wordl? This game is one of the closest alternatives to the original Wordle. It offers some more variety to keep things interesting, without losing the nerdy essence of the game. The biggest plus of Hello Wordl, though, is the option to play as many times as you want! Why should you play Quordle? This game is an adrenaline-inducing Wordle that really kicks your brain into high gear. Because you have to pay attention to all four grids at the same time, you need to think of words that might be similar enough to fit into at least two of them. The fun is definitely in the challenge, yet it still feels like a low-stakes game. Just like the original Wordle. Why should you play Octordle? You should definitely play this game if you want a difficult challenge. It’s not too time-consuming, which is part of the appeal of games like Wordle. You can definitely solve it (or fail it like I did) in a few spare minutes. It’s kind of difficult to keep track of the entire grid, but it gives your brain such a workout that it’s absolutely worth it. Why should you play Squareword? It’s one of the easier games on this list. The words are more common and don’t require the mental acrobatics of some of these apps like Wordle. But it’s also a bit more challenging than the original game. Once you get the hang of the gameplay, it’s also pretty fun to see the words line up both horizontally and vertically on the grid. Why should you play Waffle? Waffle is super easy and fun. It also switches up the game, giving you the letters already and telling you to rearrange them in a specific order. I particularly like that when you finish the puzzle, it gives you a definition and example of the words used in that day’s game. It’s educational and fun, as most nerdy word games are! Why should you play the NYT Spelling Bee? This seems like an obvious choice for word nerds, and it is. It’s also on the same site as Wordle, so switching games is easy peasy. Because you have unlimited guesses to get all the words, the stakes are more low-key and you don’t feel pressured to get it right lest you have to stop playing. Why should you play Kitty Letter? This game is actually made by the creators of Exploding Kittens, so it has the same wry humor and fun puns of the card game. The story mode gives it another layer of fun too, considering it begins by asking you if you know what toilets and pants are. And if you want to play by yourself, that makes the whole experience more engaging. But it also shines because this is the only game on this list that allows multiplayer. And it’s always fun to play with friends.
