Daily Guessing Games Like Wordle: Tradle, Factle and More

What makes a guessing game feel like Wordle?

Three things: one answer, guesses that count, and feedback that teaches. These nine use countries, outlines, flags, routes, ranked lists, dictionary order, four words, prices and colors.

Tradle: name the country from its exports

You see a treemap of what one country sold abroad in one year. Type a country and each guess shows its distance and a dial pointing toward the answer. You get 6 guesses, or 8 on Easy. You can play Tradle with no daily limit; Hard draws from 185 countries and territories.

Worldle: name the country from its outline

You see one country's outline. Type a country or territory; each guess shows its distance, a dial and a closeness percentage. You get 6 guesses, or 8 on Easy. You can play Worldle with no daily limit; Hard draws from 181 countries and territories.

Flagle: name the flag from a few pieces

A flag hides under nine pieces, one of them open. Type a country or territory; each guess shows its distance and a dial, and each wrong one lifts another piece. You get 6 guesses, or 8 on Easy. Play Flagle with no daily limit.

Travle: link two countries across land

You get a start and an end country. Name the countries in between, and each guess is marked as on a shortest route, next to it or further away. Any unbroken chain wins. Medium gives one guess per country in between plus 4 spare. Play Travle with no daily limit.

Factle: put the real top five in order

Each question asks for a top five, such as the countries with the most people. You pick from 8, 12 or 16 answers and fill five slots. A locked square means the right spot, a circle the wrong place, a cross not in the top five. You have 5 tries, or 6 on Easy. Try the Factle ranking game.

Betweenle: close in on a word from both sides

A five-letter word is hidden somewhere in a sorted dictionary. Type any word that sits between the two cards on screen, and the game tells you whether the hidden word comes before or after it. Easy allows 14 guesses, Medium 12 and Hard 10, and halving the gap each time finds any word in at most 13 guesses. Try Betweenle as a daily word game.

Quordle: solve four words at once

Four hidden five-letter words share one set of guesses. Each word you type is tried on all four, and a board locks when solved. You get 9 guesses on Medium. Play Quordle with no daily limit.

Costcodle: guess the shelf price

You get the name and size of one warehouse-club item. Type a price. An arrow says higher or lower, and close or far says how near you are. You win within 10% of the price on Easy, 5% on Medium and 3% on Hard, in 6 guesses, or 5 on Hard. Guess prices in Costcodle.

Colordle: find a hidden color by name

Type a color name and each guess scores how close it is to the hidden color, in percent. There is no guess limit; your score is how few you needed. Hard hides one of 4,013 colors. Find the hidden color in Colordle.
