Play today's Huddle →

Free · one puzzle a day · no signup

Wordle got the formula right: one puzzle a day, the same one for everyone, a few minutes to solve, and a result you can share without spoiling it. Then you wait until tomorrow. Every game below keeps that shape, so you can build a small morning routine out of them. All free, all in your browser, no signup.

1. Huddle

Best if you love word puzzles

The closest thing here to the New York Times word games. You get 16 words and sort them into 4 hidden groups of 4, with four mistakes allowed and a "one away" hint when you are close. Groups go from straightforward yellow to devious purple, and unlike Connections you can replay past days for free.

2. Daily Herd

Best if you want something different

A daily game where being right is beside the point. You get five open questions, like "name a yellow fruit", and type what you think most people will say. Then you see how everyone else answered and whether you matched the herd. It takes about two minutes and ends with a spoiler-free grid to share.
