I’m going through a bit of a daily game phase! I’m having trouble finding ones I haven’t checked out, so I’m here looking for unique hidden gems that aren’t on the main lists (the dles list, etc)
My favorites are ones that are 1. Centered around vocabulary, and 2. Somewhat open-ended in terms of how the game progresses. Think define.dle, NYT’s Spelling Bee, SpaceWord, and Wordiply.
Buenas,
Os comparto un proyecto pequeño que he hecho estas últimas semanas. Es una web con una adivinanza tradicional española cada día, con el formato de Wordle: 5 intentos para acertar y hasta 4 pistas progresivas si te atascas.
La idea me vino porque mi abuela siempre me contaba adivinanzas de pequeño ("oro parece, plata no es...") y me parecía una pena que se estuvieran perdiendo. Hay unas 150 adivinanzas tradicionales en el banco, así que tira para unos 5 meses sin repetir.
Cosas que me importaba que tuviera:
- Sin cuentas, sin registros, sin tonterías
- El progreso se queda en tu navegador
- La misma adivinanza para todos cada día (para poder picarse con los amigos)
- Estética bonita, tipo libro antiguo
- Que funcione bien en móvil
Está en: https://adivinanzadeldia.com
Lo he hecho con HTML, CSS y JavaScript puros, sin frameworks. Lo subo a ver qué os parece y si véis cosas que puedo mejorar. Cualquier feedback bienvenido.
PD: si conocéis alguna adivinanza tradicional buena que falte, decídmela en comentarios. Tengo pendiente meter más.
My first game just got approved!! Figured this would be a good place to show it! Let me know what you think, I would love some feedback. Very new to this world!!! Much appreciated.
Hey hey! I've been working on a word game called Lexo. You build words for points like Scrabble, but with a hand of cards, you can play strategically against opponents or in your favor, Uno-style.
Check it out here: lexo.gg/lobby
What mechanics or features do you think would make a game like this more enjoyable? All ideas welcome, would love to hear from people who actually live and breathe word games.
Thank you in advance 🙏
Solve rate is normally ~70% but this one was in the 30s...I'm not entirely sure why and I'm curious if the puzzle masters have thoughts. More specifically, is it difficult in an annoying or satisfying way...?
Gameplay is matching pairs of words on the tiles to the clues in yellow. I'd send a link but it's a daily puzzle...sorry. Actually let me see if I can find a link. Here's the daily as well for a tutorial!
Hey r/wordgames — long-time lurker, built something I wanted to share.
Spell Royale is a 100-player live word battle royale. Same letter board for everyone. Spell as many valid words as you can before the clock runs out. Bottom 15% gets cut every 15 seconds until one player is left standing.
The twist: it runs natively inside Reddit posts. No app store, no download, no signup. Tap a match post and you're playing in 2 seconds.
A few things I think you'll like:
Live now in r/SpellRoyale.
If you'd want it installed on r/wordgames so matches drop here, let me know and I'll loop in the mods.
Feedback welcome — I'm in this thread for the next few hours.

I continue to tweak my game - two words are hidden in a Venn diagram. Letters can repeat.
Blue letters = only in Word 1
Purple letters = shared letters
Pink letters = only in Word 2
play on playvendy.com - three new puzzles a day ad you can create your own to share.

I’ve been experimenting with a small browser word game built around Chinese characters.
Instead of spelling words from letters, you place radicals/components on a 5x5 grid. When neighboring components can form a valid Chinese character, the game detects it and upgrades the income engine.
Examples:
亻 + 木 = 休
氵 + 古 + 月 = 湖
It’s still rough, but playable here:

I’m mainly looking for feedback from word game players:
Does the core idea make sense if you don’t read Chinese?
Does it feel like a word game, or more like an idle game with symbols?
Game Title: recall.
Playable Link: https://recall-gg.com
Platform: Web browser, works on desktop and mobile
Free to play/no signup required.
The basic loop is simple: you’re shown a few words, a sentence, or a paragraph. You memorize it, it disappears, and then you type back what you remember. Each round lasts around 2 minutes.
There are different modes, modifiers, and difficulty levels to make the recall more difficult and interesting.
Solo developer. I designed and built it myself over the past month.
Looking for general feedback.
Thanks for checking it out. Any feedback is helpful.
You get 20 yes/no questions to identify a mystery celebrity — and how you use them is entirely up to you. Nationality, profession, era, alive or dead — every question is a strategic choice. Two clues are available if you get stuck, but using them costs you on the leaderboard.
No words to unscramble. No grids to fill in. Just pure deductive reasoning — building a profile from nothing until the answer clicks.
New celebrity every day. Global leaderboard. Free, no sign-up.
I built this daily puzzle game called "Omitten" (to the person who rants about hating games you can only play once a day — sorry).
My idea came from a compulsive habit I got from reading books on an e-reader and constantly looking up the definitions (iykyk). Quite often you'd see a word with 20 different meanings in different contexts, so I wanted to build a game around that.
You can get a maximum of 4 clues — first one will generally be difficult. It might be used in an archaic form, unusual context, etc. The second will generally narrow it down to a more specific domain. By the third it should all be coming together. Finally, the fourth will be as close to giving it away as possible.
You start with knowing only the first clue/sentence. This will generally be fairly difficult to guess. As you make guesses or skip, the next clue unlocks, but you lose 25 points for each additional clue you get.
If it sounds fun you can check it out here: https://omitten.com — it's completely free, has no ads, or anything of the sort. Feedback is much appreciated!
Hey there! I've been a fan of the daily challenge games that have exploded since Wordle took the world(le) by storm - special shout-out to a couple of my favourites: SportsUnder150 and MapTap.
I decided to create my own, and I'd be honoured if you gave it a try - Rankle.Me
There are other ranking games out there, yes, but I wanted to try something different. Instead of giving you the category, in my game the category remains hidden until you start getting items in the correct order. For each item that's placed correctly, its proof value is revealed, giving you a hint to the category. Some might be just as you expected, while others will surprise you. Plus, you might learn some interesting things as you solve!
And it's not impossible - after enough consecutive guesses without any item being placed correctly, one of the two extreme-end answers is placed for you. You'll always have at least two guesses remaining with at least one item in the correct spot.
New features are coming soon but there are two puzzles every day (a Basic and Challenge mode) for free.
Happy Ranking! :)
Hi everyone — I’m quite new to Reddit, but I’ve been trying a few games shared here and thought I’d share mine for feedback.
I built a daily word puzzle called WordLinks:
https://www.wordlinksgame.com
You guess letters to reveal three connected words, then get a short insight explaining the link between them. It’s a bit like Hangman mixed with word association logic.
I originally built it a few years ago and recently refreshed it with a cleaner design, stats, sharing, and post-game word insights.
I’d really appreciate honest feedback from word game fans — especially whether the puzzle feels satisfying and whether the “WordLink Insight” makes you want to play more.
