About The Dles
The Dles is an independent site of free daily games with no daily limit, for people who want one more puzzle.
What this site is
The Dles is a small collection of puzzle games that you can play as often as you like. Pips, Queens, Tango, Zip, Colorfle, Waffle, Connections, Betweenle, Size It Up, Tradle, Factle, Costcodle and Colordle are the kinds of game many people play once a day on other sites. Here each game makes a new puzzle in your browser every time you press Next, and there is a Daily mode with one shared puzzle per level for each date.
Independent and original
We are independent. Every game on this site is our own version, written by us, and every puzzle is made by our own code. The pages are not affiliated with or endorsed by The New York Times, LinkedIn or any game maker named on this site, and the game names are used only to say which kind of puzzle a page is about. See the disclaimer for the full list.
How it works
Everything runs in your browser. There are no accounts and nothing to sign up for. Your best times and scores, your Daily streak and the puzzle you are in the middle of are kept in your browser's local storage, which is why a streak does not follow you to another device. The privacy page lists what else is collected. For how the puzzles are made and checked, read how it works.
