From Worldle to Nerdle: the ultimate list of Wordle spin-off games
If you’re obsessed with Wordle like the rest of the world, you’re in luck. You can feel the high you get from seeing those squares turn green more than once a day.
There are plenty of spin-offs of the word game dedicated to specific themes, subjects, and fandoms.
The original version of the free word game went viral in early January, and caused so much of a buzz that it was bought out by The New York Times by the end of the month.
Since then, many creative iterations of the game have been popping up almost weekly online. Whether you’re a hockey fan, a geography nut, or have a dirty mind, there’s a Wordle out there for you.
We’ve compiled a list of Wordle spin-off games, so you don’t have to go searching for them. We’ll also be updating this list as new games pop up.
