Daily Games Like Wordle With No Daily Limit

This guide covers 13 daily games like Wordle that you can replay as often as you want, from word and color puzzles to logic grids and trivia. This site is independent and not affiliated with the makers of the games these versions are modeled on. Every game here has a Next puzzle button and a Daily mode.

What counts as a daily game like Wordle?

It is a short puzzle with one right answer that takes a few minutes. You get feedback as you go, and you can compare the result with a friend's. Here, Daily mode gives you the board for the date on your own device, and Next puzzle gives you a fresh one whenever you want more.

Waffle: swap letters until six words read right

Waffle is the closest word game to a letter-guessing game. The grid holds 21 scrambled letters that spell six five-letter words, three across and three down. You swap two letters at a time. A solid frame with a tick means the letter is right and locked. A dashed frame with a ring means it belongs in one of its words, just somewhere else. Medium allows 15 swaps and every board can be solved in 10. You can play Waffle with no daily limit and use the free hint when a swap is not obvious.

Connections: sort 16 words into four groups

If you are looking for games like Connections, this is the one. You see 16 words and sort them into four groups of four that share something. A wrong guess costs one of 4 mistakes, and three out of four earns a "One away" note. The dots on each bar show how hard that group was. Easy, Medium and Hard are three separate sets of puzzles. Try Connections with a new set every time; there are 100 puzzles at each level, and repeats arrive with the words dealt in a new order.

Betweenle: narrow a hidden word by dictionary order

A five-letter word is hidden in a dictionary sorted from A to Z. Type a word between the two cards on screen, and the game tells you whether the hidden word comes before or after it. Your word becomes the new edge, and the count of words still in between falls. The list has 6,327 guessable words, so halving the gap each time finds any of them in at most 13 guesses, and Easy allows 14. A hint shows the next letter and costs no guess. It rewards a plan more than a vocabulary.

Colordle and Colorfle: match a color by name or by blend

Colordle hides a color. Type color names, and each guess scores how close it is, in percent. There is no guess limit, and three hints compare the hidden color with your closest guess. Colorfle shows a target and a palette. You pick the colors, in order, that blend into it. Easy blends two colors at 60% and 40% with 8 tries. On Medium the target is three colors at 50%, 30% and 20%, and you get 6 tries. A filled square, a ring and a diamond under each pick tell you if it is in the right spot, in the mix elsewhere or not in the mix.

Queens: one queen in every row, column and region

Queens is a logic grid with no typing at all. You place one queen in every row, every column and every color region, and no two queens may touch, even at a corner. Boards are 6 by 6 on Easy, 8 by 8 on Medium and 10 by 10 on Hard. Each board has exactly one solution, though a few Medium and Hard boards may ask you to test a square before the next step is clear. Start with the smallest regions, then play Queens as many times as you like.

Tango, Zip and Pips: three more logic grids

In Tango you fill a grid with circles and triangles. Every row and column holds the same number of each, and no three of a kind sit side by side. Each Tango board has exactly one answer, found by logic alone. Easy and Medium boards are 6 by 6, and Hard is 8 by 8. In Zip you draw one line through every cell, passing the numbered dots in order. Boards run from 5 by 5 to 7 by 7, and Hard adds 6 walls the line cannot cross. If you want the full rules, read the guide on how to play Zip, or play Zip unlimited first. In Pips you place dominoes, 4 on Easy and 10 on Hard, so that each region's rule holds.

Tradle, Factle and Costcodle: guess with facts

These three swap letters for knowledge. Tradle shows a treemap of one country's exports and asks you to name the country, with 6 guesses, or 8 on Easy; each one shows its distance and a dial pointing toward the answer. Factle asks for a real top five in order, in 5 tries, or 6 on Easy. Costcodle gives an item's name and size and asks for the price, within 10%, 5% or 3% depending on the level, with 300 items to draw from. The daily guessing games like Wordle guide goes through all three, plus Betweenle and Colordle, with the feedback each one gives.

Size It Up: judge a size by eye

Size It Up is scored in points, not tries. Two things stand on the same ground line. The left one is at its real size, and you stretch the right one until it looks right. A run has 5 rounds of up to 100 points each, and getting within 5% scores the full 100. A hint draws a band on the ruler and takes 20 points off that round. Press Lock in and the object snaps to its real size, with your guess kept as a dashed box. You can try Size It Up when you want an estimation game instead of a word game.

Which level should you pick?

Every game has Easy, Medium and Hard. The levels change the size of the board, the number of tries or how many answers can come up. Queens grows from 6 by 6 to 10 by 10. Waffle keeps the same grid but lowers the swap margin to 2 on Hard. Betweenle cuts the guesses from 14 to 10 and draws hidden words from a wider list. Start on Medium. If you finish without a hint, move up. If you are new to a game, Easy shows you the rules at a gentler size.

How does unlimited play work?

Press Next puzzle and a new board is made in your browser, with no wait. Each board has a puzzle number, and a shared link opens the same puzzle for a friend. Boards come from a seed: the same number always gives the same board. Some games build boards from scratch, like Queens and Zip. Others, like Connections and Waffle, draw from a fixed set of puzzles and shuffle them, so over a long run you will see familiar ones again. If you want to know how the boards are built and checked, the how it works page explains it.

Can you keep a streak without an account?

Yes. Your Daily streak and best times are saved in this browser, with no sign-up. Clearing site data or switching browsers starts you fresh. Every game has a Hint button. After three hints, or the game's last one if it has fewer, a Show answer button appears. A board where you showed the answer does not count toward your streak or best time.

Which game should you play first?

Pick by mood. For words, start with Waffle or Connections. For a calm logic puzzle with a guaranteed single answer, start with Queens or Tango. For trivia, try Tradle or Factle. For something you cannot fail outright, try Size It Up or Colordle. Whatever you choose, you can switch levels at any time.
