QWRTL

QWRTL describes itself as Wordle without the letter E. Its about page credits Josh's original Wordle and Lynn's variation, and it keeps the familiar board: type a word, press Go, and each tile shows whether the letter is in the answer and in the right place. The difference sits in the keyboard, where the E key is simply gone, and in the word list, where no answer uses it.

Losing the most common letter in English changes how you open. Starting words that lean on E are off the table, so the vowels you test are A, I, O, U and Y, and the consonants carry more of the work. Words you would never think of in ordinary Wordle become good guesses.

The page opens on a random match. The Today's link in the corner switches to a puzzle seeded by the date, which the board labels with the day, the word length and the game number, and which every player shares. A slider sets the word length, and you can copy your grid as coloured squares or send a link that summons a friend to the same match.
