Daily, I play Wordle and 7 Little Words when I first get up, but I was wondering what other types of quick games like that that people play regularly.

    Daily Dadish (iOS linked) has been a cute daily platforming challenge. Outside of super tricky levels, I can usually get the “best” time to collect the star in 10m or so, and the controls are pretty solid for being a touchscreen.

    I’m a big fan of Redactle.

    My best score so far is 1 guess. Can’t remember what clue I spotted in the pre-cleared words, but guessed that the answer was ‘Ball’, and it was. On average though, I’m closer to 60 guesses or so.

        It’s an absolute time suck if you move from just doing the shared daily puzzle to just going ham on random articles. I love it immensely.

    I like to play the NYT mini crossword every day. I like asking other people for advice on it when I get stuck so it’s both a fun daily game and a good way to do a bit of socializing.

      I play Mech Arena every day. Usually only a couple of games. I never played Overwatch so I can’t compare them, but I’m enjoying Mech Arena so far.

    I try to get in a game of Contexto every day at work when things are slow.
    The goal is to find a secret word based on how similar the words you have already guessed is. You do get unlimited guesses though which is nice. it’s pretty challenging but very rewarding when you finally get it.

      This is really good. After getting the answer, it’s fun to try and follow the path of logic to the answer.

        Yep, and yep.

        You do have to purchase the expansions separately, but every week they have one available to use for free. You can also buy first edition card sets for the expansions that have come out with a second edition (Base set, Intrigue, Seaside, Hinterlands).

          Hm… I can’t seem to find it (on iOS at least). I love that game, haha I’d play every day too if I had it on my phone

            Oh, yeah. I remember that now. My parents and I use Android phones, but my brother uses an iPhone. Was trying to get all of them to get the game, but my brother couldn’t get it.

            Sorry about that

    I do NY Times crosswords. quite challenging as an ESL, but very satisfying. so far I’ve only been able to solve Monday or Tuesday ones, and I still use the “check puzzle” helper to see how many words I got wrong when I’m stuck, but I don’t have to look up stuff online anymore!

      Yeah, they’re tough. My wife and I do them together and can usually do up to Wednesdays without too much help, then things get ugly.

        there’s another layer of difficulty when you’re not from the US, as it often requires you to know stuff from US history and culture that you don’t learn and know about abroad. like tHE FUCK KIND OF A THREE LETTER ORG DID NIXON CREATE, WATERGATE IS LONGER THAN THREE LETTERS

          I actually know that one, I’m not from the USA either but read it somewhere. It’s apparently the EPA.
