A short list of daily games

One puzzle a day, then you are done: the whole appeal of the genre. This list is short on purpose and it is kept current rather than dated. Raredle is the dice one.

• Wordle

  Guess a five-letter word in six tries. The one that started the genre.

• Connections

  Sort sixteen words into four groups that share something.

• RNGdle

  One random number a day, scanned for number-theory patterns and scored on rarity. The closest thing to Raredle that exists.

• Costcodle

  Guess the price of a Costco item in six tries.

• Framed

  Name the film from one frame, then another, then another.

• Heardle-likes

  Name the song from its opening seconds, one instrument at a time.

• Globle

  Guess the country; every wrong guess is coloured by how close it is.

• Worldle

  Name the country from its silhouette, with distance and bearing as clues.

• Chronophoto

  Guess the year a photograph was taken.

• Metazooa

  Guess the animal; wrong guesses tell you how close on the tree of life.
