Searchle

Searchle mixes Wordle with the oddities of search autocomplete. Each day it shows the beginning of a search people really type, like 'are sharks afraid of', 'do bees have' or 'why is my car so', and the word Google suggests next is the answer. Everyone gets the same prompt that day.

The prompt sits in a search box above a grid as wide as the answer and six rows deep. You type a guess and press Enter, and each letter is coloured as in Wordle: green for the right letter in the right spot, yellow for a letter that is in the word elsewhere, grey for one that is not there. The answer's length changes with the prompt, so count the boxes first. The fun is that the answer is often not the sensible completion but the strange one people actually search for.

An 'I'm feeling lucky' link under the keyboard fills in a plausible but usually wrong guess, a joke on Google's own button. Settings let you require valid English words, turn on Hard Mode (found letters must be used in later guesses) and switch to dark or high-contrast colours. The clock icon opens an archive of past prompts that anyone can play, and a statistics card keeps your streak and guess distribution.

Searchle is listed among Teuteuf's games, beside Worldle, WhenTaken and Emovi. It runs in any browser on a desktop or a phone, needs no account, and shows display ads beside or above the board.
