Wordle in Italian: daily Italian word games

Italian has its own daily Wordles: Parole is a free five-letter version, Chiave on Cruciverba Lab adds a leaderboard, and the Corriere della Sera's In altre parole has a word chosen by Massimo Gramellini. Around them is a wide set of Italian daily word games, from a honeycomb word builder to Connections and the TV guillotine game.

The games

For a straight Italian Wordle, start with Parole: one five-letter word a day, six tries, free in the browser. Chiave on Cruciverba Lab is the same format with points on the site's leaderboard. The Corriere della Sera's In altre parole is picked each day by the columnist Massimo Gramellini; like the paper's other games it needs a subscription.

Cruciverba Lab runs a whole set of Italian dailies. Alveare is a Spelling Bee with seven letters and a required centre, Nessi is an Italian Connections with sixteen words in four groups, Catena links eight words through idioms and compound words, Ghigliottina recreates the final round of the TV quiz show with five pairs and one hidden word that links them, and the site also has a daily cruciverba and a crittografato with numbers instead of clues. Connessioni on mauriziofonte.it is a second free Italian Connections.

For learners, Giochini di Parole offers six small daily games tagged by level from A1 to C2. For a full crossword, Cruciverba Lab's daily grid is free, and the Corriere della Sera publishes its crossword and a Mini every day for subscribers, alongside L'Apegramma, its honeycomb word game.

To begin, play Parole for the word of the day, then Nessi or Ghigliottina for a longer puzzle.
