Games Like Wordle
Games like Wordle share one habit. A puzzle arrives, every player gets that same puzzle, and the next day it is replaced. One wants a five-letter word. Another wants a country, a film still, or a short clip of a song. This is the DleBox list. Each row says what you do, then where that game is played. Krillion stays on this site, and you can play another round after the first. The others open the original site. None of them ask you to pay before you start.
Krillion
Trivia
Name one thing that fits the prompt. Rarer accepted answers score more, and our copy lets you play another round.
It is the daily we host, so a finished round does not end the visit.

Connections
Words
Sort sixteen words into four groups of four. A wrong group costs one of your four mistakes.
The groups are the whole puzzle, so a single clever link is not enough.

Strands
Words
Find the theme words hidden in a letter grid, then the spanning word that ties them.
The span word is a second puzzle sitting under the word search.

Make words from seven letters. Every word must use the center letter.
One hive lasts the day, and the longer words are the real target.

Chain words around a square of letters until every letter has been used.
The constraint is the box, not a hidden five-letter answer.

A small crossword with a fresh grid each day. It is built to be finished in a few minutes.
It is the short crossword people actually finish on a phone.

Waffle

Swap letters in a grid until each row and column is a word. You have a limited number of swaps.
You can see every letter. The puzzle is the order, not the discovery.
Added 2026-08-22
Semantle
Words
Guess the secret word. Each guess is ranked by how close its meaning is.
Similar meaning is the only clue, so a thesaurus brain does the work.
Added 2026-08-28
Contexto
Words
Reach the hidden word by guessing. The rank tells you how near your word sits.
The feedback is a rank, which makes the next guess a narrowing, not a pattern.
Added 2026-09-02
Absurdle
Words
A Wordle-style grid where the answer shifts to stay consistent with your guesses for as long as it can.
The puzzle fights back, so a lucky first word is not a strategy.
Added 2026-07-30
Octordle
Words
Eight five-letter boards share every guess. You have thirteen tries for the set.
Eight boards at once is the far end of the multi-grid idea.

Worldle
Geography
Name the country from its silhouette. Distance and direction follow a wrong guess.
The shape is the whole clue, which is a different skill from a flag.
Added 2026-09-08
Globle
Geography
Guess the mystery country. The globe shades warmer as you get closer.
Distance on a map is the feedback, so a neighboring miss is useful.
Added 2026-09-09

Geography
Fill the countries a route crosses, from a start country to an end country.
You are tracing a path, not naming one isolated shape.
Added 2026-09-20

A flag arrives in pieces, so the first tile is often a color and nothing else.
Added 2026-11-13

Guess the country from a chart of what it exports.
The clue is trade data, which rewards a different kind of geography.
Added 2026-10-11

The country is hidden behind a fact, not behind a map outline.
Added 2026-10-16
WhereTaken
Geography
Drop a pin for where a photo was taken. Distance is the score.
A street or a hillside is the clue, which is harder than a border.
Added 2026-10-18
Redactle
Trivia
Guess the Wikipedia article. The page is blacked out except for common words.
You are identifying a subject from the shape of an article, not from a definition.
Added 2026-09-22
TimeGuessr

One photo has to answer when and where, so a face or a car can be the tell.
Added 2026-10-06
Costcodle
Trivia
Guess the Costco price of a product shown in a photo.
The daily skill is a price, which makes it a trivia game with a number.
Added 2026-10-21
Metazooa
Trivia
Find the mystery animal by walking the tree of life. Each guess shows where you branched off.
The clue is a common ancestor, so a near animal is more useful than a famous one.

Clues by Sam
Logic
Fill a logic grid from Sam Ezersky. Each clue removes a slice of the possibilities.
It is a pure deduction grid, closer to a puzzle book than to a word guess.
Added 2026-09-28
Angle
Logic
Guess the angle, in degrees, drawn on the screen. Your error is shown after each try.
The answer is a number of degrees, and the picture is the only clue.

Sudoku
Logic
Fill the grid so each row, column, and box contains the digits 1 to 9 once.
The New York Times posts a fresh sudoku, which belongs in a daily list.
Added 2026-08-15
Queens
Logic
Place queens so that no two share a row, a column, or a colored region.
LinkedIn's daily queens puzzle is a placement rule, not a word.
Added 2026-10-28
Framed
Movies & TV
Name the movie from six stills. A wrong guess reveals the next frame.
One still is often enough for a film person, and useless until the third frame for everyone else.
Added 2026-11-12
Box Office Game
Movies & TV
Guess the domestic box office of a film from its poster-era clues.
The answer is a dollar figure, so movie knowledge has to become a number.
Added 2026-10-30
Bandle
Music
Name the song. The clip starts very short and grows when you miss.
A one-second hook is the whole first clue, which is why it lives in the music row.
Added 2026-11-11
Poeltl
Sports
Guess the NBA player. Team, position, height, and number tell you what was close.
It is a player guess with stat feedback, which is the sports version of a grid game.
Added 2026-11-10
Immaculate Grid
Sports
Fill a 3 by 3 grid with players who match the row and the column at once.
The rare correct player is the point, which rhymes with a rarity score.
Added 2026-10-12
Nerdle
Math
Guess the equation. Colors show which digits and signs are in the right place.
It uses the Wordle grid, but the line has to calculate.
Added 2026-11-09
Mathler
Math
Find the expression that equals the target number. Placement colors work like Wordle.
The target number is given, so the puzzle is building an expression that lands on it.
Added 2026-09-05
Chainle
Words
Continue a chain of associated words. Each step has to connect to the word before it.
The link between two words is the puzzle, which is a different job from a hidden five-letter answer.
