Breadle

Breadle is a daily word game with a food theme, made by the Daily Bread Food Pantry, a charity that has served the Greater Danbury area of Connecticut since 1984. The rules follow Wordle: guess a hidden word in six tries, with each tile turning green for a right letter in the right place, yellow for a right letter in the wrong place, and grey for a letter not in the word.

The twist is the word list. Every answer is tied to food, drink or the pantry: ingredients, dishes, brands and kitchen words. There are two versions to choose from. New Breadle uses answers of four to six letters, so the length is a clue in itself, while Breadle Classic keeps to the familiar five letters. Both use the same answer for every player on a given day and change at local midnight.

Because the pool is food and drink, American spellings, brand names, place names and plurals can all turn up, which keeps the guessing a little wider than a plain dictionary game. The pantry also sells a Breadle mug, with proceeds supporting its work, but playing the game itself is free and needs no account.

It suits Wordle players who want a themed list and like the idea that the game comes from a community food charity.
