items If you love Wordle and are after a new challenge, check out these web-based word games. While some are similar to Wordle, others will challenge you in completely different ways. Most games are free, but if you have to watch ads or subscribe to pay I have added “Subscription” beside the name of the game. Know a game I've missed? Let me know and I'll see if it's worth adding to the list.

Word Guessing Games
Like Wordle you have to guess the word(s) of the day, but that's where the similarity end.
While in Wordle the aim is to guess the word as quickly as possible. The goal in this game is to avoid guessing the word of the day for as long as possible.
Antiwordle
Unlike Wordle where the correct answer is given up front, Absurble tries to keep you playing for as long as possible.
Absurdle
Rearrange the letters to create a valid crossword puzzle.
Waffle
Different than any other game I've played. Each guess is assessed for how close it is to the word of the day based on there definitions. Challenging and fun.
Proximity
The goal is to find the smallest number of words that use all of the letters. Each letter must stay in its column.
Typeshift
Just for fun. Find the two unrelated rhyming words that meet the clue.
Twofer Goofer
Word Search Games
In each of these games you have to find words from a given set of letters. However, each of these games offers something very different.
A twist on the classic game of how many words can you make with 9 letters. You only have 12 guesses.
Blossom
Fast and furious. Find as many words as you can before your time runs out.
Word Chase
Find words to remove letters from the grid. Can you clear all the letters? I haven't yet.
Spelltower | Subscription
Find all the words in the grid. The more words you guess, the more hints you unlock.
Squaredle
Word Generation Games
In each of these games you have to find words that fits all the clues. However unlike the word guessing games, these games don't have a unique solution.
My current favourite game. Fill in the grid with words that meet both the line and column clues. The rarer your word, the better. How many unicorns (words that no one else has guessed) can you find?
Word Grid
Classic Word Games
Remember those games you used to play as a kid? Many of these games are now available online. It's time for a trip down memory lane.
Hangman with cute graphics and themes. Instead of the traditional hangman's noose you have to guess the word before the man's balloons all pop and he comes face to face with the monster.
Hangman
Transform one word to another one letter at a time.
Flipple
Four groups of four words. You have to work out which ones belong together. The catch? Some words can belong to multiple categories. This one is medium difficulty and my preferred one.
Categories
A harder version of categories for those who like a challenge.
Connections - Harder
Wordle, only Harder
These games are the same as Wordle, only you have multiple puzzles to solve. There are lots of these, so I have selected ones each requires a different strategy to solve.
If finding 1 word in Wordle is too easy, why not solve 4 Wordle puzzles at a time.
Quordle
Solve 8 Wordle puzzles.The catch? You guesses count in all Wordles, but you only see one at a time.
Octordle Sequence
Solve 8 Wordles at a time. The catch? The computer started without you and made some bad guesses. Now you need to recover the game.
