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 played Overwatch daily for about 5 years, but Blizzard had to go and fuck that up
I play Mech Arena every day. Usually only a couple of games. I never played Overwatch so I can’t compare them, but I’m enjoying Mech Arena so far.
I just lost a streak of 250+ yesterday on wordle :(.
Oof. That hurts.
Worldle is fun - you get a country outline and need to guess which country it is, plus its neighbouring countries, capital, etc.
Also Wheretaken, which is similar but you get a photograph rather than the country outline.
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.
Fun game thanks!
Genshin and honkai star rail, send help
I’m starting to play this game called Guessdle that you can guess an object/place/food. It uses AI to determine if what you asked is right or not until you finished guessing the thing. It’s pretty much cool though.
Oh that’s a fun one!
Heardle. Like Wordle but for music.
This is fantastic for my love of 80s music, thank you!
My girlfriend and I do like 10 of these every night.
Turns out I don’t know anything about music before the 1980s, nor after the 1990s.
Ha! I play every night with my wife, and routinely quip that the 1970s are my kryptonite. I don’t know shit about them.
Oddly, I’m decent at the 60s and 50s cuz of my mom.
There’s a #TeamHeardle group on Mastodon that’s pretty active daily comparing notes and commiserating about losses.
Also worth knowing: the person who runs heardledecades.com is in the UK, so a lot of the games skew heavily towards UK charts.
I just created [email protected] for posting daily scores and other discussion type things. :)
Does Duolingo count as a game?
Depends on your approach. I considered creating a community ‘competitive duolingo’, but since we already have two duo comms I decided against that:
Wordle, chess.com daily puzzle, and the Guardian quick crossword are my daily routine. I’m not keen on the crossword and would replace it with a better one but haven’t found it yet. Irish Times one was good, long ago.
The closest thing I have are the daily challenges from Hoplite (mobile) and Sagrada (boardgame app). I don’t do them all the time but sometimes I do a few days in a row. The Slay the Spire ones can be fun too but too time consuming to do regularly.
I like Waffle – you get five stars if you optimize your moves (leaving 5 swaps remaining when you’re done)
I love worldle, it’s really helped me sharpen up on geography as someone who’s already geeky about geography.
The island nations, and trying to guess their “border countries,” are really a struggle though.
Squardle and Quordle are my follow ups after WORDLE. Both great games.
I play Flow Free every morning before work.
