I played Overwatch daily for about 5 years, but Blizzard had to go and fuck that up

I like Waffle -- you get five stars if you optimize your moves (leaving 5 swaps remaining when you're done)
This one is wild. Starting to get the hang of it.

Heardle. Like Wordle but for music.
My girlfriend and I do like 10 of these every night.
Turns out I don't know anything about music before the 1980s, nor after the 1990s.

I've been playing https://duotrigordle.com/. It's like 32 wordles at once. But despite how that sounds, it's actually easier than Wordle.
The other one I've been playing with a friend is https://framed.wtf/ for figuring out movies by scene.

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!
The NYT crossword is challenging enough as a native English speaker.
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.

Recently I've been learning crosswords and I do the daily Newsday and USA Today puzzles since they're pretty easy, but near the end of the week the Newsday one gets kinda difficult.
I also want to shout-out Forkyz on F-Droid. It's by far the best crossword puzzle app I've used. Pulls from multiple news sites and you can import puzzles as well
Forkyz* it seems. Spent a minute trying to find this. I've been trying to find a good crossword app, thanks!
Whoops haha sorry that was a typo but i fixed it now. Hope you like it!
I learnt Cryptic Crosswords the other year, which are somewhat mind bending. The moment you figure out the answer is often alongside a groan of aaah like you've just got a bad pun.

My first day on this site and it's already paying off. Ha!
Thanks for the recommendation. Loved this and shared it with my dad. I'm sure we'll be sharing scores soon.

I'm starting to play this game called Guessdle that you can guess an object/place/food. It uses AI to determine if what you asked is right or not until you finished guessing the thing. It's pretty much cool though.

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.
Worldle is fun - you get a country outline and need to guess which country it is, plus its neighbouring countries, capital, etc.
Also Wheretaken, which is similar but you get a photograph rather than the country outline.
Another fun twist on wordle I recommend is fusele. Each word you enter has its own rule you need to follow, for example maybe the first word has to repeat a letter, or you get orange hints instead which mean the letter you entered is within 3 letters of the alphabet of the correct letter.

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.
This is really fun. Kinda like 21 questions, but infinite questions.
Just tried it, it is fun!
I love worldle, it's really helped me sharpen up on geography as someone who's already geeky about geography.
The island nations, and trying to guess their "border countries," are really a struggle though.
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.
Thanks for showing me this. Now I wasted most of my day on this. Really fun.

You just reminded me I haven't played Wordle in a while lol
Genshin and honkai star rail, send help
I play Flow Free every morning before work.
The closest thing I have are the daily challenges from Hoplite (mobile) and Sagrada (boardgame app). I don't do them all the time but sometimes I do a few days in a row. The Slay the Spire ones can be fun too but too time consuming to do regularly.
Wordle, chess.com daily puzzle, and the Guardian quick crossword are my daily routine. I'm not keen on the crossword and would replace it with a better one but haven't found it yet. Irish Times one was good, long ago.
I like puzzlemoji, instead of guessing something yourself, you get a movie title and have to provide three Emoji as a hint for ChatGPT to guess the movie.
