Games like Quordle: daily Wordles played on many boards at once

Quordle has you solve four Wordles at once, with nine guesses shared between them. The obvious next games change the number of boards, from two up to thirty-two; others line up several Wordles one after another or bend the rules of a single board.

The games

Choose by how many boards you want. Dordle is the gentle one: two words in seven guesses, good for a quick warm-up. Octordle doubles Quordle to eight words in thirteen guesses and adds daily Sequence, Rescue and Extreme versions. Sedecordle runs sixteen words in 21 guesses, and Duotrigordle thirty-two in 37, which turns the game into bookkeeping as much as vocabulary: you plan opening words to cover the alphabet and then work through the boards one by one.

Quordle has its own daily Sequence mode, where the boards unlock one at a time, and several games build on that idea. AARP's Today's Hurdle gives five Wordles in a row, each opening when the last is solved. Gauntle mixes a Wordle with ten other mini puzzles against one timer. Duolock asks you to crack two four-letter words at once, with every guess feeding both.

If what you want is a harder single board instead of more of them, Wordly uses six-letter words and Fusele gives every row its own rule. Crosswordle.org stacks small Wordles into a five by five crossword, so each answer helps with its neighbours.

For most Quordle players, Octordle is the natural step up, and Dordle the one to play on a busy day.
