Games Like Quordle

Games like Quordle ask one guess to serve more than one hidden answer. Quordle plays that guess on four five-letter boards at once, on Merriam-Webster. Octordle stretches the same idea to eight boards and thirteen tries. Wordle is the single board those games multiplied. Absurdle keeps one grid and changes the target so your colors stay legal for as long as possible. Nerdle uses the coloring on an equation. Waffle and Connections show their letters instead of hiding four words. Semantle drops the grid and scores meaning. This page does not print today's four answers.
