Still looking for a Wordle fix?

Wordle took the world by storm when it was released, and that craze continues to this day. That’s why people continue to play Wordle and look for its clones, regardless of obscurity or difficulty.

And if you’re looking for more Wordle stuff to add to your daily word game run, here are some games you should try out (spoiler, our game Crosswordle is in there!).

Still not enough? Then maybe Word Peaks will top off your growing Wordle needs. This unique word game with procedurally created background images and its creator is the topic of our next podcast!

Five game insights we think will pique your interest!

We know we’ve talked about Wordle and its clones a lot, but they are just that good. It’s not just Wordle—word games in particular just have that magic that pulls you into them and keeps you playing until your eyes get sore. Why? How do they do that to us? Well, there are several reasons why word games are so addicting.

Word games aren’t just addictive—as we said before, they’re also great for assisting in academics! Scrabble, in particular, has been noted for its effectiveness as a game media in improving learning outcomes.

Alright, that’s enough about word games for now. Let’s talk about Chess.

If you’re like me, then you dabble in Chess occasionally whenever you feel like getting strategic. But over time, you exhaust all the Chess game modes available online, and you get kind of tuckered out with it but still want something like it. The solution to that dilemma? Chess alternatives.

And it’s not just Chess that has great alternatives—Sudoku does too! Sudoku is the type of puzzle that’s really great to play constantly, but quite difficult to go on a marathon with. That’s why folks tend to refresh themselves with a similar type of puzzle. So if you need a Sudoku alternative, check this out!

Puzzles are so refreshing by nature. Perfect for poking the depths of your mind while not being too draining, they engage people of all ages, regardless of social status or background. From word games to number grids, these puzzles all have that magic that pulls us into them and makes us want to just continue playing them.

That’s why to so many around the world, number and word puzzles are peak entertainment! And whenever you’re stuck on a puzzle and think it’s too hard, remember what Kota Morinishi, 4-time World Sudoku Champion, had to say about Sudoku in particular:

“Sudoku puzzles are not difficult just because they may have a lot of empty blocks.”

That’s it for this week’s newsletter. We’ve just hit our 20th podcast episode with our last release, and we hope that you all continue tuning in with us!
