Hi, I made this one. I've played Wordle-likes for years and always wanted to build my own, but I never had an idea that felt like mine.

The push came from a strange place. Half of what I read these days is written by AI, and it's never short. Every email, every doc, twelve words where five would do. At some point I said the phrase out loud, long story short, and realised it was a game.

So: you get a twelve-word sentence. You rephrase it in exactly five of its own words. Real English, same meaning, your job is to work out which words carry the sentence and which are just dressed up to look important. Scoring is Wordle style, blue for right word in the right spot, orange for in the answer but elsewhere, grey for out. Five tries, one sentence a day.

My wife and my brother were the playtesters. An early version let "the" beat proper words in the answer, which felt awful to lose to, so the answers now always favour the concrete word. That one change ate a whole weekend.

Hi everyone!

My partner and I recently launched Ordrly, a free browser game we'd love some feedback on.

The goal is to arrange items, one by one, into the correct order to create the longest list possible—for example, countries by population or weights of animals. Each correct placement extends your streak until you get one wrong, and it's game over. There's also a daily challenge and an online / local multiplayer mode.

We built the game ourselves and are looking for honest feedback on the gameplay, categories, UI, or any bugs you come across.

Thanks for checking it out—we'd really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions!

Been lurking here a while and finally have something to post.

Pricedle is a daily price-guessing game. Everyone in the world gets the same five tech products each day, and you get 10 seconds per product to guess what it actually costs. You see the photo, the name and the brand — never the price.

• Five rounds, 100 points on the table
• The timer runs server-side, so refreshing the page doesn't buy you more time (I learned this the hard way in testing)
• Each round shows you the real price and what you scored
• You finish with a spoiler-free emoji grid to share, and a streak to protect
• No account, no email, no download — just a display name so the leaderboard has something to call you

One honest caveat: the products come from the Indian retail catalogue, so a few brands will be unfamiliar if you're not in India (you will meet boAt, Noise and Zebronics). Prices default to rupees, but there's a currency picker in the nav — switch it to USD/GBP/EUR and everything converts, so you can guess in your own currency. Genuinely think the unfamiliar-brand rounds are the fun part; you end up reasoning from what the thing looks like rather than what you already know it costs.

The prices come from a price tracker I run that snapshots the whole catalogue daily, so they're real current retail — not MRP or launch prices.

It's free and always will be. Would love to know where you land on the leaderboard, and if any round felt unfair I'd rather hear it than not.

Do share your thoughts.

This is an adult puzzle book , the book itself is the puzzle and making it free for the next 2 days, so grab a copy and tell me if you can find the answer!

Give it a try and tell me what you think!

Note: I have no connection to either game, I just enjoy them both!

On the face of it these two daily puzzle games look quite different. One is exclusively text based, the other looks like a sudoku, or even more a masyu. But the types of challenges they pose are very similar, and scratch the same puzzling itch.

There is of course lots of "if X then Y" reasoning in each. But also lots of "assuming it's X leads to a contradiction, so it must be Y". Lots of "I don't know whether this is X or Y, but either way that must be Z". Lots of "it must be either A and B or X and Y, but whichever it is leads to the same result about Z". Both puzzles have degrees of difficulty ranging from quite straightforward to very challenging. And both are based in websites but have subreddits devoted to them, moderated by the creator of the puzzle.

If you haven't tried CLuesBySam (r/CluesBySamHelp) start on a Monday or Tuesday, and do the tutorial - puzzles later in the week are more challenging. And if you are trying r/greyisodd for the first time, don't start with the 7x7 level 4 puzzles in the subreddit, but go to the website and try some smaller and simpler ones first to get the hang of things.

Mods, I hope this post isn't seen as inappropriate, but if it is, feel free to remove it. I'm not trying to draw anyone away from either subreddit, just to encourage more people to join both!

Simple but addictive fun, for fans of NYTimes Games and puzzles. Combine five number tiles with + - × ÷ to hit the target exactly.

Four difficulty levels every day, same puzzles worldwide, every puzzle verified solvable. No ads, no sign-up, runs in the browser on desktop or (ideally) phone.

Made this with my puzzle-loving 9 year old daughter and it's definitely a fun one to play with family and friends.

See if you can smash all 4 levels!
