Dordle

So you can Wordle. But can you wordle... TWICE? (Thus made Zaratustra, who you might know from a certain game about a flower that starts with a warning.)

Previously: Absurdle.

And from the comments...

Absurdly: Letterle.

Obscenely: Sweardle.

Numerically, Primel.

As someone who played Wordle on hard mode for weeks before realising it was optional, being forced to make incorrect guesses on one side or the other is an emotional journey!

Got the first word in four and the second in six. Not terrible, I think.

Turns out I don't know nearly as many dirty five-letter words as I thought!

But also, since we're all bragging: I did today's wordle in 3 (wild guess, but I'll take it), my first ever absurdle in 5 (never to be repeated), and I solved my first ever sweardle (4 letter naughty words are easy), primel (consulting a list I had handy, is that cheating?), and dordle (4 and 6 I think).

You might say I WASP'D

I actually just made a working version of a Wordle parasite where you can see how many words remained for you after each round and encode your guesses in a link. Below is my Dordle result and journeysβ€”pretty lucky second guess!

Love dordle.

Nice, got it in three and five...Not nearly as good as my very first try on Word Master (same as wordle, but with unlimited plays per day). My first try I got the word on first guess (the word was STOMP).

posted by bardophile at 2:03 AM on January 24, 2022


I've been finding this double wordle pretty fun and with a bit of practice, I'm getting at least half of them but it definitely adds a layer of difficulty!
posted by jacquilynne at 5:09 AM on January 24, 2022


You can play Hello Wordl as many times as you like and can even tweak the word length.
posted by DirtyOldTown at 10:42 AM on January 24, 2022


Contributing my own variant: Ourdl

It’s Wordle without the letter E, for the oulipo crowd. (Built on a fork of Hello Wordl.)

I am still hooked on these, and it's made me better at Wordle (almost always solve it by 3, always by 4) -- but now I've added the additional game of "what's the link?" Because it seems like every two dordle words have a connection, I just have to find it.
ORBIT + STARK (Iron Man)
BLACK + JEWEL (Opal)
MORAL + RAMEN (Vegan)
YACHT + DISCO (Jeffrey Epstein)
SHEEP + CLIFF (That scapegoat in the bible)

I think I would like my brain back.
