Daily Guessing Games Like Wordle: Tradle, Factle and More
The five daily guessing games like Wordle below each hide one answer and give you feedback after every guess, and each changes what you guess. Each has a button for a fresh board, so you do not have to wait until tomorrow. This site is independent and not affiliated with the makers of the games these versions are modeled on.
What makes a guessing game feel like Wordle?
Three things: one answer to find, guesses that count, and feedback that teaches you something each time. Swap the five letters for something else and the idea still works. These five use countries, ranked lists, dictionary order, prices and colors.
Tradle: name the country from its exports
You see a treemap of what one country sold abroad in one year: the 12 biggest product groups, plus a block for everything else, each sized by its share. Type a country and each guess shows its distance in kilometers and a dial pointing toward the answer. You get 6 guesses, or 8 on Easy. Hints reveal the continent (Medium and Hard), first letter and length. You can play Tradle with no daily limit; Hard draws from 185 countries and territories.
Factle: put the real top five in order
Each question asks for a top five, such as the countries with the most people. You pick from a list of 8, 12 or 16 answers and fill five numbered slots. A locked square means the right spot, a circle with arrows means right answer, wrong place, and a cross means it is not in the top five. You have 5 tries, or 6 on Easy. The Factle ranking game also gives up to 3 hints that lock one rank for you.
Betweenle: close in on a word from both sides
A five-letter word is hidden somewhere in a sorted dictionary. Type any word that sits 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. Easy allows 14 guesses, Medium 12 and Hard 10. The word list has 6,327 guessable words, and halving the gap each time finds any of them in at most 13 guesses. Try Betweenle as a daily word game.
Costcodle: guess the shelf price
You get the name and size of one warehouse-club item, plus where and when its price was recorded. Type a price. An arrow says higher or lower, and close or far says how near you are. Winning means landing within 10% of the price on Easy, 5% on Medium and 3% on Hard. You have 6 guesses, or 5 on Hard. There are 300 items, and you can guess prices in Costcodle as often as you like.
Colordle: find a hidden color by name
Type a color name and each guess scores how close it is to the hidden color, in percent. The closest guess stays on top. There is no limit on guesses, so your score is how few you needed. Three hints compare the hidden color with your closest guess: lighter or darker, which way the hue leans, then more vivid or grayer. Hard hides one of 4,013 colors, so you can find the hidden color in Colordle at your own pace.
