About Games Like Wordle

Games Like Wordle is a small independent site for people who love daily word puzzles. It has two jobs: give you good daily games to play right now, and help you find the next game worth adding to your morning routine.

Fivefold, our own game

The game on our home page is Fivefold, a daily five-letter word puzzle we built for this site. It follows the guessing rules that Wordle made famous (six guesses, colored hints) but uses its own word list, its own design, and adds unlimited practice rounds and a chart of how everyone who played today did.

A few choices we made on purpose:

• Fair answers. Daily answers are everyday English words. We check guesses against a large public-domain dictionary, so you are not punished for knowing an unusual word, but you will never need one to win.
• No account. Your streak and stats are kept in your browser. We do not ask for your email.
• One shared puzzle. Everyone gets the same daily word, released at midnight in their own time zone, so you can compare scores with friends.

Deep Cut, our rare-answer game

Deep Cut is our second original game: a daily trivia round of five prompts with 30 seconds each, where the rarer your correct answer, the more points you score. Prompts and answer lists are written for this site, and after every prompt you see what other players said that day.

Our guides to similar games

Each game page also has a guide to similar games: on the home page, other Wordle-style games such as multi-board versions, number and map puzzles; on the Deep Cut page, other games like Krillion. We write each description from the rules of the game. We are not paid to include any game and we are not affiliated with any of them.
