Ever since Wordle was launched, it became an instant obsession for everyone on the Internet. Not only is this popular word game a fun daily challenge, it also has several cognitive and learning benefits. As its popularity increased and reached the point of saturation, a whole host of games covering different topics ranging from maths to geography emerged. With all of them have the same fundamental structure as the online hit game, these can surely be classified as its clones. If your teen has hopped onto the Wordle bandwagon, here are a few similar games he is sure to enjoy as well.
Worldle
Worldle is ideal for those who are keen on improving their knowledge about geography and countries around the world. In this game, an outline of a country’s map is presented first. Based on this, the player has to guess where exactly it is. If the guess made turns out to be incorrect, the game guides the player on how close he is to that specific country. Players can refine their answer until they reach the correct one within six attempts, just like in Wordle. It can be downloaded for free on the App Store and Google Play Store.
Nerdle
This is like Wordle for mathematics lovers out there. The rules are exactly like its word game counterpart. It starts off with the player having to type in 5 characters from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, +, -, *, / or =. Essentially, each guess here is a calculation. The player has six attempts to guess the final answer through the elimination process of these calculations. It is available for free on the App Store, Google Play Store and it can also be played through a browser.
Heardle
Heardle is ideal for everyone who enjoys listening to music. As the name suggests, it is the music version of Wordle. Here, audio cues, which are 16 seconds long, are provided to the player. Usually, only a few seconds of the opening are played. Based on these, he/she has to guess the correct song within six attempts. However, the catch is that the entire 16 seconds are not played at the beginning. For every wrong answer, a few more seconds out of the total 16 are played, thus acting as hints. As of now, it can only be played on its official website through a browser.
