WATSE
The Afrikaans Wordle: find the day's five-letter word in six tries.
Every day: One five-letter Afrikaans word a day, the same for everyone and numbered by day, to find in six tries. New puzzle: Once a day.
WATSE is a free daily Wordle in Afrikaans. Each numbered day has one five-letter Afrikaans word, and you have six tries to find it, with coloured tiles showing which letters are right, misplaced or missing.
About WATSE
WATSE calls itself die Afrikaanse Wordle and is presented with Klyntji, an Afrikaans publication. Every day has a number and one five-letter Afrikaans word, the same for all players; the counter has passed 1,700 days.
You guess five-letter Afrikaans words, and each guess colours its tiles to show which letters are in the right place, which are in the word elsewhere and which are not there. You have six tries.
The game is free, with a how-to-play page and notes about WATSE and Klyntji on the site.
It suits Afrikaans speakers and learners who want a daily word puzzle in Afrikaans.
