I've searched and can't find a thread. I much prefer it to Wordle!

I love the compliments that waffle pays you 👍

ElleLeopine · 21/03/2024 21:42

I do Waffle, but had never tried the Deluxe until now. Love that it lets you carry on trying until you get it out.
The following is my routine,
Wordle
Xordle
Squareword
Waffle
Globle
Worldle
Quordle
Octordle, daily, sequence and rescue

It's a wonder that I actually get any work done!

Oh, and Redactle!

I'd forgotten about waffle and full rainbow

In this order:
Connections (some very american links but fair enough as it is)
Waffle
NY Times Mini Crossword
Wordle
NY Times Spelling Bee

Done over my morning coffee ☕

Me too. Plus the new on on the YYT.

I didn't. But I do now! I'm playing through the archived games 🤣

Ooh thanks @Usernamesarenoteasy , I didn't know there were archived games!

Yes my morning consists of a few word games to get me going including Wordle and waffle. Highlight is Monday’s deluxe version.

Me too. But I'm playing quite a lot of them each morning...

OnlyLoveCanBreakYourHeart · 21/03/2024 23:22

And lots more suggestions to try - thanks everyone!

Ooh thanks, just did my first Waffle!

Who remembers playing Free Rice? I just searched and played it - haven't gone on it for years.
For anyone who doesn't know, you have to chose the correct definition of a word from a choice of 3. It starts very easy, but has an algorithm so gets harder until you start getting some wrong (for e.g. saponaceous).
Also, by playing (for free) you donate to the UN World Food Programme

Gingerkittykat · 22/03/2024 01:07

Thanks for the recommendation of Rainbow, I have added it to my daily games.

I thought Free Rice was closed down. The app disappeared from my phone and is no longer in the app store. Can you still play it online?

MrsMitford3 · 22/03/2024 07:45

oooh love this thread-tried combination last night-loved it but had to go to bed so will start afresh.

Off to see what rainbow is now. The poor dog will never get a walk in the morning at this rate!!!

MrsMitford3 · 22/03/2024 08:41

@DancingFerret I looked at Combinations last night but def too late as went to bed.

I now go straight to the puzzle and don't get the instruction page-despite googling. Would you mind giving a quick explanation? I know th obvious-combine the bits-but there was def other information!?

WingBingo · 22/03/2024 11:00

I’ve just remembered two more I used to play. Redactle and Heardle.

might try them again.

The idea is to find words using the syllables shown. It's quite easy at first because some two-syllable words just jump out at you, but once you get into the longer words your eyes start to cross. Some of the words are quite obscure, so I just string unlikely looking bits to together. Also, infuriatingly, it sometimes doesn't recognise very ordinary words, e.g., today I found 'strained' and it said there was no such word.🙄 The numbers on the individual letters tell you how many more times they can be used.

At the top right of the box you'll see a question mark, which is where you'll find the instructions.

MrsMitford3 · 22/03/2024 14:51

oh! I was thinking the number on the letters was a score like scrabble 😂

I am def at the brain dead bit today...

MrsMitford3 · 22/03/2024 21:19

@DancingFerret now full of regret for starting knowing I will never get another word.
Do you usually finish??
Am on 25/32 and do not foresee any future success 😂😓

XenoBitch · 22/03/2024 21:21

I used to play it. But then I stopped, as the amount of daily games I had going was getting crazy.

I now play just Squaredle, which I have never seen mentioned on here.

I'm struggling today; it's fiendish! Not a good one to start on. I do usually manage to finish, but only after leaving it and revisiting later in the day, which helps. Persevere.😙🙂
