Weredle

Weredle, pronounced like wear-dull, looks and plays like Wordle: type a five-letter word, and the tiles turn to show whether each letter is in the right spot, in the word elsewhere or not in it at all. You have six tries.

The twist is the Werewolf. In every guess one tile may, or may not, show a false colour. After your first guess you have to click a tile to guess whether it is the Werewolf. Once you have found it, no new false tiles appear, the earlier false tiles are outlined in red, and the on-screen keyboard reveals the true status of every letter you have tried. Until then you have to weigh each colour knowing one of them might be a lie, and a tile you have already cleared as not the Werewolf can be trusted.

The game is free in the browser, with one word a day that changes at midnight on your device, and a stats screen. Its about page says it is an open source fork of a Wordle clone and links to the original Wordle. The code is published on GitHub by Justin Dwyer, whose repository dates from January 2022. Each day's answer comes from a fixed list of 2,315 words counted from 1 January 2022, so everyone playing on the same date gets the same word.

It suits Wordle players who already know the usual openings and want a reason to doubt every colour. There are no ads and no account, and the board fits a phone screen as well as a desktop one.
