If you are growing tired of Wordle, but would like to give your brain a workout

[RAB910]

this is quite challenging and forces one to think multi-dimensionally

1. It doesn't have to be either/or,,,,

I play both each morning

[RAB910]

3. I do as well, but frankly Wordle has lost its challenge

I and my friends reached a point where we considered solving it in 4 guesses, making par

This puzzle gives the brain a bit of a workout.

9. I do too...

And I play three geography puzzles before I go to the word puzzles. I spend roughly 30 - 45 minutes doing puzzles before I sign in to DU.

2. This is a good one. I'm also addicted to Spelling Bee.

[KarenS]

4. me, too,,,,,

Spelling Bee and Wordle and Connections and the MiniCrossword,,,,, with my first cup of coffee each morning

[Ocelot II]

5. Try Waffle. It's not a NYT game, kind of challenging.

[Lefta Dissenter]

6. Waffle is my game of choice, too

And I like that you can replay puzzles, so I’m working my way through the archives, replaying any puzzles for which I don’t score a 4 or 5.

[KarenS]

7. I play Waffle and Squaredle each evening,,,,

Sounds like we have the same taste in word games

[2naSalit]

11. Hmm...

That link takes me to an image of, perhaps, a game board but there is no explanation or intro and no link to anything of the sort.

Looks interesting, though.

[petronius]

15. That's very cool, thank you! Added to my daily rotation... (nt)

[GentryDixon]

17. I like Waffle. Monday you get a bonus puzzle.

I like the extra challenge on that. I also do Connections & Wordle.

[XanaDUer2]

8. I play spelling bee, mini

Wordle, world hurdle, phrazle, and connections everyday.

[cornball 24]

10. Holy moly! Just played it for the first time and got it! Thank you.

[Fla Dem]

12. Wordle, Word Hurdle, Dordle and Connections gets my brain at least out of neutral in the morning.

Later in the day if I am online I'll do the Word Hurdle afternoon game. Later may do the Blossom game. I actually find that game more challenging,

Connections can be challenging as well. You really have to think outside the box to find the commonality between 4 word.

[Demovictory9]

13. I do connections nightly and nyt mini

Nyt bee..but never finish it

[Laffy Kat]

14. Part of my wake-up routine: first Wordle then Connections.

I know it's going to be a good day if I can get both of them by three tries.

[Different Drummer]

16. Connections first for me, then Wordle.

Sometimes I will play Spelling Bee, but not very often as I find it rather time consuming. I also occasionally play Worldle, but I'm not always very good at it.

[IcyPeas]

18. Connections is a great game. ✅️

[ARPad95]

19. I got them all with only 1 miss

20. I am hooked on Outspell (Washington Post)

It’s similar to Scrabble but better, IMO.

[UTUSN]

23. . I *WON* the Easy level 352 to 349! Thanks!

[ARPad95]

28. Thanks for sharing! I'm now addicted to Outspell.

[ailsagirl]

30. I love it, only...

I play it on my laptop because if I play on my iPhone, I’m smothered with obnoxious ads.
😖

So glad you like it!! 😎

[ailsagirl]

31. My pleasure 😎

[UTUSN]

21. Am fairly ok with wordle, halfsies about connections, do both every night

Connections I can't finish with music group names of genres totally alien to me.

[UTUSN]

22. Self delete

[AllyCat]

24. I play both! Connections is really fun!

[marigold20]

25. Connections is my new favorite

Also Wordle, waffle, spelling bee

[cilla4progress]

26. Elevate is my preferred go to -

27. Try metazooa

https://metazooa.com/

You have to think about evolutionary Cladograms. Good mental exercise.

There is also metaflora, but the list of plants is so wonky to make it difficult to do.

[bedazzled]

29. I really like waffle... kind of British

One of the first puzzles I did had "enema" in it! I would not have come up with that for some reason...
