I play Wordle every day. My mother and I share our results each day, which is a nice way for us to keep in touch. Saves me a trip to Texas to make sure she’s still doing ok. If she sends me her results I know everything else must be good.
I think we’re up to 300 consecutive days of that. My daily counter got reset during the time change last month so it’s just on 40 for now, but it was way up there before that.
Other than that, the only app I’m sure to check in on daily is Finch for mental health reasons. Not really a game, but also not expressly not a game.
Wordle and Connections; I get sad if I forget and miss a day. And then Merriam Webster has a game called “Blossom” which you can play without any subscription; I think it’s based on the NYT “Spelling Bee” which you can’t play unless you subscribe to their extras. Blossom only saves a week’s worth of results and doesn’t compare you to anyone else. https://www.merriam-webster.com/games/blossom-word-game
I play a daily game of which credit card has the most room for the great online deals that I really shouldn’t get, which then leads to a monthly game of hide and seek with the bills.
@Willijs3 I found it diverting (57 moves)
I do NYT Wordle, Dungleon, and NYT Connections as a daily regimen, but have tried to squeeze Juxtastat, Metazooa, Chronoapp, Drawception, Nerdle, Waffle, the various multi-word Wordle (many can be found on Merriam-Webster.com), and probably a few more I’m missing into the week. I also have installed on my phone some open-source puzzle games: Lexica, simple Sudoku, Klondike Solitaire, and Simon Tatham’s Portable Puzzle Collection (which includes Keen, Minesweeper, Towers, and Signposts)
I try not to have streaks (I clear my cookies often) so as not to anchor myself, but I do like the communities that form around these games.
@dave Curiosity got the best of me and I enjoyed playing it. I can see why it’s enjoyable.
But I’m a curmudgeon and I dislike change, so I am going to frown while playing it every day and continue to bitch about you guys not having enough knives and speaker docks these days.
@dave@Kidsandliz@Willijs3 The non-advertising daily puzzle game has been replaced today by an advertisement for the sister site SideDeal. I do not know if this is a permanent reversion to the prior practice of pimping SideDeal in that spot, or not.
In addition to Wordle; my wife and I play and share our scores for Dordle (double Wordle), Octdordle (octuple Wordle), Waffle, Connections, Squaredle (which is a word search), and the NYT Mini Crossword. I usually knock out the puzzles in-between kicking one kid out the door and waking up the other one.
@llangley I was going to ask if anyone else has tried Duotrigordle - it’s a bit ridiculous, isn’t it? I was keen on Semantle for a while but yeah, I kind of lost interest in it too.
I used to do QNTM’s Absurdle (you throw out a word and the AI makes a word that 100% doesn’t match; the following guesses you make causes the AI to change their word without conflicting with earlier responses; there are certain guess combinations that are repeatable so the “fun” would be mapping out all the winning paths) HelloWordl was fun since you can adjust word length (the ultra hard mode I apply to Wordle normally)
Worldle for geography buffs (though I lioed Tradle better since exports are an added layer of clues)
Misha Fish made a thing called “Word Lie”; of all the rows of guesses, one is a lie (much easier than Lirdle or Fibble which have a single letter fake out in each line, though Lirdle has no guess limit)
@llangley If I did these on a desktop computer with a large screen I might try Duotrigordle again but I can’t even see the whole thing on my phone. Plus I think it has a timer? Can’t remember - I hate timers.
Daily Wordle, Squardle, Repeatle, Waffle, Connections. Occaisionally Octordle, Giffie (not really word) and Absurdle.
Gonna check out some others on this thread, I’ve never heard of some.
All the NYTimes games!
Current Wordle streak is:
705 plays / 100% / 605 streak / 605 long streak
(I forgot to play on day 101 and that’s why the streak doesn’t match the plays)
I honestly have not gotten into games that are as much social media as game. I just am not attracted to them. I have a lot of little appy games that I play. I still pla Evony and a couple others of a similar nature. Only one zombie game left in my zombies. It’s the one I liked the most which was the silliest Sony quit supporting a while back. It was based on Zombieland the movie. I get bored quickly I think. I do have a weird crossword puzzle game on there but it’s truly a weird one it’s and I’m not a regular one and I have a kid like hidden object game and a you know point out the differences game at a cryptogram game. Not any big ones just some little random thing that I came across in and add somewhere probably
@OnionSoup Still doing it… not daily, but often. Only complaint would be all the pop-culture references in the crosswords that I think arn’t really intended for people over the age of 30. Either that or… I’m just way out of touch with pop culture, which is also true…

I intermittently play NYT’s Connections on encouragement from my mother.
@mossygreen I’m visiting my mom this week and she got me playing that one, but I haven’t leaned into it too much so I’m not playing daily.
@mossygreen I love Connections!
@jennafer74 @mossygreen Me too!

@Kyeh I just tried Blossom- cute game! I love that it doesn’t compare me to anyone else. I don’t like feeling judged by a silly distraction.
@Pony It’s fun, isn’t it? I like that it’s not timed either, the way some of them are.
Wordle, Connections, and Quintessential.
@cbilyak Never tried Quintessential before, I like it! Not sure I should thank you though.
https://quintessential.fun #675 (floating): 9 moves
@callow @cbilyak same!
Wordle, connections and waffle
Like everyone else, Wordle and Connections daily.
I play a daily game of which credit card has the most room for the great online deals that I really shouldn’t get, which then leads to a monthly game of hide and seek with the bills.

@kuoh
I play this game but have no insight or skill.
@f00l Same as the rest of us, but that’s ok, because in this game when you win, you lose.
KuoH
Phone apps are still “online”, so Duolingo every day (Deutsch, Svenska), Crossword most days, Sudoku most days.
So… Is this an advertisement? The giant “puzzle” in the middle of the page content seems so out of place it must be an advertisement.

@Willijs3 No, we’re not getting anything for it, I just enjoy them and thought others might (and I like that it matches up with our daily cadence)
@dave Curiosity got the best of me and I enjoyed playing it. I can see why it’s enjoyable.

@dave @Willijs3 if this site becomes loaded with for-profit ads and games, I’m probably out for sure.
@dave Did you remove it? I don’t see what @Willijs3 is talking about.

A few friends and I play Wordle and Connections every day and compare scores. May have to add quintessential and stop reading this thread!
Quordle
Wordle
Connections
Waffle
Crosswordle
App puzzle-type games
7 Little Words
Quick Logic Puzzles (the grid-type)
Puzzle Page
FlowFit Sudoku
Nonogram
Non-puzzle game apps
Township
Zynga Poker
Doing all the puzzle games takes about a half hour
Used to play but got bored with
Adverswordle
Semantle
Dordle
Octowordle
Sedecordle (16 words)
Duotrigordle (32:words)
@llangley and now adding Quintessential… thanks @cbilyak!
@llangley I was going to ask if anyone else has tried Duotrigordle - it’s a bit ridiculous, isn’t it?
I was keen on Semantle for a while but yeah, I kind of lost interest in it too.
@llangley ooh Adverswordle is new to me.
I used to do QNTM’s Absurdle (you throw out a word and the AI makes a word that 100% doesn’t match; the following guesses you make causes the AI to change their word without conflicting with earlier responses; there are certain guess combinations that are repeatable so the “fun” would be mapping out all the winning paths)

@Kyeh yeah, 32 words pretty much killed the others for me except for Quordle (4 words) which I do as a warmup for the most-important Wordle
@llangley If I did these on a desktop computer with a large screen I might try Duotrigordle again but I can’t even see the whole thing on my phone. Plus I think it has a timer? Can’t remember - I hate timers.
I just play normal video games, MMOs and survival FPS mostly. But the moment you turn something into a competition…

Wordle and the Driving Game here on Meh.
So I’m curious, is Puzzmo related to meh in any way?
@OnionSoup Nope, other than I’m a big fan (and was a beta tester)
@dave @OnionSoup OK I’ll accept that for now but still skeptical…
Wordle streak has taken the place of the clickface streak.
@kdemo Nice hole in one there
Todays Meh x Puzzmo puzzle took me 37 rotations, but to be fair at least 6 of those were me trying to figure out what the puzzle is.
@Ignorant What is the puzzle? lol
@bradsour you rotate each piece where it is and try to fully fill the game board without any pieces overlapping.
@Ignorant Mine took
Failed to copyrotations./giphy sad trombone
Word Connect, Word Blitz, and SongPop

I like Puzzmo! Although, I suspect it’s one of those things I’ll do for a few weeks and then forget about, but they had some good puzzles.

This could be trouble/fun/time-consuming!!
Head-to-head Wordle matches??
Duels against random opponents??

What could go wrong??
@llangley Count me out.
