FFXIVrdle

FFXIVrdle takes the Wordle rules and fills the answer list with Final Fantasy XIV vocabulary. The words come from all over the game: jobs and actions like Ninja and Esuna, primals like Shiva, Titan and Ifrit, places, characters and the slang raiders use, such as stack and melee. There are 166 answers in the list, and they come round again in order, so a word returns about every five and a half months.

Each guess must be a five-letter word. After you enter it, every tile turns to show whether that letter is in the right spot, in the word but elsewhere, or not in the word at all, and the on-screen keyboard keeps track. You have six rows.

If you are stuck, a hint button unlocks on your fifth guess. Using it costs one guess and reveals an explanation of the word, which is handy when the answer is a name only a long-time player would know. A stats screen keeps your streak and guess spread, and a share button copies your coloured grid. The settings add a hard mode, a dark and a high contrast theme, and an option to show the letters in the Eorzean script used in the game itself. The game's Discord takes suggestions for new words.

The word is picked from the date, so every player gets the same one on the same day, and it changes at midnight where you are. It suits Final Fantasy XIV players who already play Wordle and want one with words from their own game.
