Self hosted alternatives to games like Wordle, Connections, and Skrbbl(dot)io? (sopuli.xyz)

Hi all, does anyone know of a good alternative to games like Wordle, Connection, and Skrbbl? Self-hosting puzzle and party games would be fun I think. Preferably options that have intuitive UI (else no one will use them!)

I have found a couple options, awesome selfhosted mentions scribble(dot)rs which seems pretty cool. Awesome selfhosted also suggests "word-mastermind", and the demo instance is down, is it any good? (a quick search shows a bazillion Wordle clones that people have made as a programming challenge. If I had the time I might try making my own, but I have loads of schoolwork on my plate right now)

@sbird there is a bot i use with discord which has many such games, you can self host the bot but it works with discord. Not a 100% self-hosted solution but you may find it useful.

Unfortunately I don't use Discord, hopefully somebody else finds them useful!
