Puzzled

Unless you’ve been living as a hermit in a cave in the Himalayas you will have encountered Wordle, the simple word game, created by Josh Wardle, which took the internet by storm and was sold to the New York Times for a seven-figure sum. This fun little game has generated a whole host of similar timewasters. Here are some of the best. Nerdle - A number version of Wordle. Players have to work out a six- to eight-character calculation, for example 7+6/3=9, in six guesses. There are 17,723 valid solutions for an eight-digit Nerdle. Played in combination with Wordle, it makes for some serious daily brain training. Worldle - This one is a geography-based puzzle. A silhouette of a country or territory is presented, and users have six chances to work out the answer. Byrdle - One for Classical musicians. Byrdle uses only composers and musical terms. Other than that, it’s the same as Wordle. It’s also completely fiendish! Crosswordle - There are several games that go by this name but a particularly good one is the one created by Robert Flack, which requires users to guess two intersecting words. And it was only a matter of time before Lordle of the Rings and Wizarding Wordle (for Harry Potter fans) appeared. Finally, there’s Sweardle - Popular among my son’s teenage friends! It’s pretty self-explanatory. Like Wordle...but naughtier. By Tracey Anderson
