Daily, I play Wordle and 7 Little Words when I first get up, but I was wondering what other types of quick games like that that people play regularly.
I played Overwatch daily for about 5 years, but Blizzard had to go and fuck that up
I play Mech Arena every day. Usually only a couple of games. I never played Overwatch so I can’t compare them, but I’m enjoying Mech Arena so far.
Fun game thanks!
I’ve been playing https://duotrigordle.com/. It’s like 32 wordles at once. But despite how that sounds, it’s actually easier than Wordle.
The other one I’ve been playing with a friend is https://framed.wtf/ for figuring out movies by scene.
Thank you for pointing me to framed. I love the concept.
Actually got today’s in a single guess!Same. Had they started with scenes 2-4 I probably wouldn’t have though. Usually get it pretty early or not at all 🤷🏻♂️
Oh! I didn’t realize you could still look at the other frames after guessing! 2 is very difficult for sure.
Thanks I just lost a good 40 minutes sleep to Framed. 😾
I will have to pick that up daily I guess.
You’re welcome 😅 I usually do it first thing over my morning hot beverage. Less thinking before bed that way.
I do NY Times crosswords. quite challenging as an ESL, but very satisfying. so far I’ve only been able to solve Monday or Tuesday ones, and I still use the “check puzzle” helper to see how many words I got wrong when I’m stuck, but I don’t have to look up stuff online anymore!
The NYT crossword is challenging enough as a native English speaker.
there’s another layer of difficulty when you’re not from the US, as it often requires you to know stuff from US history and culture that you don’t learn and know about abroad. like tHE FUCK KIND OF A THREE LETTER ORG DID NIXON CREATE, WATERGATE IS LONGER THAN THREE LETTERS
I actually know that one, I’m not from the USA either but read it somewhere. It’s apparently the EPA.
Yeah, they’re tough. My wife and I do them together and can usually do up to Wednesdays without too much help, then things get ugly.
Travle! It’s X country to X country, randomised daily.
I’m starting to play this game called Guessdle that you can guess an object/place/food. It uses AI to determine if what you asked is right or not until you finished guessing the thing. It’s pretty much cool though.
Oh that’s a fun one!
Heardle. Like Wordle but for music.
My girlfriend and I do like 10 of these every night.
Turns out I don’t know anything about music before the 1980s, nor after the 1990s.
Ha! I play every night with my wife, and routinely quip that the 1970s are my kryptonite. I don’t know shit about them.
Oddly, I’m decent at the 60s and 50s cuz of my mom.
There’s a #TeamHeardle group on Mastodon that’s pretty active daily comparing notes and commiserating about losses.
Also worth knowing: the person who runs heardledecades.com is in the UK, so a lot of the games skew heavily towards UK charts.
I just created !heardle@lemmy.world for posting daily scores and other discussion type things. :)
This is fantastic for my love of 80s music, thank you!
Hooked. Immediately. Great recommendation.
Nice! Last time I heard about it Spotify was shutting it down.
First time I’ve heard of it! But it looks likes it’s using soundcloud now so maybe that’s why.
I like Waffle – you get five stars if you optimize your moves (leaving 5 swaps remaining when you’re done)
Well, this has just been added to my Daily Games tab group!
This one is wild. Starting to get the hang of it.
I just lost a streak of 250+ yesterday on wordle :(.
Oof. That hurts.
Does Duolingo count as a game?
Depends on your approach. I considered creating a community ‘competitive duolingo’, but since we already have two duo comms I decided against that:
I like to play the NYT mini crossword every day. I like asking other people for advice on it when I get stuck so it’s both a fun daily game and a good way to do a bit of socializing.
I’m working on getting better at world geography so I play globle daily.
Then you got to try https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/
So I really enjoy this one. Sent it to two of my buddies and now it’s a thing. 👍
I try to get in a game of Contexto every day at work when things are slow.
The goal is to find a secret word based on how similar the words you have already guessed is. You do get unlimited guesses though which is nice. it’s pretty challenging but very rewarding when you finally get it.Just tried it, it is fun!
This is really fun. Kinda like 21 questions, but infinite questions.
This is really good. After getting the answer, it’s fun to try and follow the path of logic to the answer.
I love worldle, it’s really helped me sharpen up on geography as someone who’s already geeky about geography.
The island nations, and trying to guess their “border countries,” are really a struggle though.
Worldle is fun - you get a country outline and need to guess which country it is, plus its neighbouring countries, capital, etc.
Also Wheretaken, which is similar but you get a photograph rather than the country outline.
