Wordle sparked a wave of word games, but what do you do when you’ve guessed today’s word? Luckily, many new games have emerged, combining similar ideas—like guessing letters and receiving hints. Here are some fun options to try out.
Waffle
Start with Waffle for a unique twist. You arrange six five-letter words in a grid, swapping letters to make correct words. The challenge lies in getting it done within a limited number of moves, but all the necessary letters are right in front of you. Check it out here.
Flagle
Next up is Flagle. This game focuses on country flags rather than words. You guess the flag, gradually eliminating options. Initially, it allowed you to see how far off you were, but that feature has since been removed. Still, it’s a fun way to flex your geography knowledge. Play it here.
