Tired of Wordle? Try These Other Word Games
Wordle has become one of the most beloved word games since Josh Wardle launched it in 2021. Players need to guess a five-letter word within six attempts. After each try, colored blocks indicate how close the guess is to the correct answer: gray for wrong letters, yellow for correct letters in the wrong spot, and green for correct letters in the right position.
While CNET's Gael Cooper shares plenty of strategies and helpful tips for tackling each New York Times Wordle puzzle, long-time players might start feeling the urge to try something fresh. Fortunately, there are plenty of other engaging word and puzzle games to explore.
Connections: A Tricky Puzzle by The New York Times
“Players must select four groups of four words without making more than four mistakes,” the New York Times wrote on X.
Connections challenges players to find sets of related words across four color-coded difficulty levels: yellow for easy, followed by green, blue, and purple. The game draws inspiration from the BBC quiz show Only Connect, whose host even noted the similarity online.
