Daily, I play Wordle and 7 Little Words when I first get up, but I was wondering what other types of quick games like that that people play regularly.

    I’m a big fan of Redactle.

    My best score so far is 1 guess. Can’t remember what clue I spotted in the pre-cleared words, but guessed that the answer was ‘Ball’, and it was. On average though, I’m closer to 60 guesses or so.

        It’s an absolute time suck if you move from just doing the shared daily puzzle to just going ham on random articles. I love it immensely.

    I like to play the NYT mini crossword every day. I like asking other people for advice on it when I get stuck so it’s both a fun daily game and a good way to do a bit of socializing.

    I try to get in a game of Contexto every day at work when things are slow.
    The goal is to find a secret word based on how similar the words you have already guessed is. You do get unlimited guesses though which is nice. it’s pretty challenging but very rewarding when you finally get it.

      This is really good. After getting the answer, it’s fun to try and follow the path of logic to the answer.

    I like all version of the Nerdles, playing mostly the Classic, Bi, Mini, and Mini Bi. Though they recently added the Crossnerdle and that might be my favorite. You can also make your own Pro Nerdle and send them to your friends with way more operators to choose from!

    I do NY Times crosswords. quite challenging as an ESL, but very satisfying. so far I’ve only been able to solve Monday or Tuesday ones, and I still use the “check puzzle” helper to see how many words I got wrong when I’m stuck, but I don’t have to look up stuff online anymore!

      Yeah, they’re tough. My wife and I do them together and can usually do up to Wednesdays without too much help, then things get ugly.
