Pretty much all we do with our free time is play many different variants and knockoffs of Wordle--for birds, for chess moves, for hockey players, etc. We rank our 20 favorite Wordle variants, including the original itself.
The idea behind this is great—word association, in which you pick a word, and it tells you how similar it is to the key word with a percentage. Unfortunately, the database in use here is abysmal, the percentages are completely without rhyme or reason, and the target word is often wildly different even from the most similar words. It can literally take you 400 guesses to get it right, but I would advise not embarking on that journey. It’s frustrating, it’s bad, and I quit after three days.
For all the systems people devise, ultimately this is why I think I’ve mostly lost interestChess is wonderful, and the idea for this game is good—predicting the opening three moves for white and black, with Wordle-style color codes indicating where you’ve gone right or wrong. The problem, as far as I can tell, is that the openings are limited, and I can’t see this having a very long shelf life.
