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 just lost a streak of 250+ yesterday on wordle :(.
Oof. That hurts.
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!
Travle! It’s X country to X country, randomised daily.
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.
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.
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 play Flow Free every morning before work.
Genshin and honkai star rail, send help
I still play Wordle daily, but I’m also a big fan of Cell Tower and Worble
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.
The closest thing I have are the daily challenges from Hoplite (mobile) and Sagrada (boardgame app). I don’t do them all the time but sometimes I do a few days in a row. The Slay the Spire ones can be fun too but too time consuming to do regularly.
Wordle, chess.com daily puzzle, and the Guardian quick crossword are my daily routine. I’m not keen on the crossword and would replace it with a better one but haven’t found it yet. Irish Times one was good, long ago.
