I like quick low-stakes browser games like this, something fun and fast to wake up your brain with morning coffee. If interested, here are some others I've come across - Linxicon - build bridges between two words ( https://linxicon.com ) WhenTaken - use clues to guess where and when a photo was taken ( https://whentaken.com ) Angle - guess the exact arc angle ( https://angle.wtf ) Metazooa - deduce the animal species…

Tried the angle.wtf one, but it seems to be stuck at one angle only (320°) on both browsers I tried on mobile, and it never progresses?

I survived all 23 words, "Top 1% of players today". Don't chase the letters with the mouse, you can type on your keyboard and hit backspace to shave off some seconds.

22 here, top 3%.

I like this, may add it to my daily set, but it's a little stressful.

I'd like a Clear option that doesn't involve a Del key.

Many of these types of games are daily, so I'd expect it's a different angle tomorrow.

(Thanks for the hint.)

Speller - Alphabetize as many words as you can in 60 seconds. (https://1-800-rad-dude.com/speller/)

Every user gets the same word list, words change daily.

Too bad the keyboard doesn't work (Firefox with "Search for text when you start typing" on). They didn't do the "event.preventDefault(); event.stopPropagation();" dance.

Naturally. You have enabled a setting for Firefox to intercept the keystrokes before the web page even gets a chance to see them. That means the JavaScript to prevent default action would never run.

I've been compiling a bunch of daily games over the past 4 months at https://dles.aukspot.com with all these games and about 200 more, if you're interested!

This one could be a good addition.

Yet another fun game that will die because it tried to replicate the "one game a day" model for no reason. I like it, and want to play more. Why can't I? At the very least let me go back and retry the words that I missed? Not everything has to be Wordle.
