If you haven’t done a “Wordle”, where have you been?
The web-based word puzzle has since grown so phenomenally popular and successful that New York Times has acquired it. Before the run ends for free play, we found 11 other “Wordle”-like games you can try!
11 Other “Wordle” Challenges to Try
1. Word-leh
This is dedicated to the Singaporeans who will need to guess 5 letter Singlish terms. Bring out that heartlander in you and think all things colloquial! I tried this several times and found some of the spelling a little awkward, then again this is a Singlish puzzle.

3. Country in Shapes
Guess the country with its shape given. Clues about distance of country from the guesses are given as you try to figure out the answer. This is definitely for those who can ace number 2 easily.

4. Cheng Yu Wordle 成语
All the years of memorising four-character Chinese idioms should come in handy here.
Clues are given in the characters supplied, and you can always ask for clues that will tell you which characters are relevant to your guesses. Same rules apply regarding correct characters in the right or wrong spots.
Start guessing here.
5. Wordle in Bahasa Melayu
Think you know your Malay words? Try this Wordle in Malay! The interface looks similar to the original Wordle.
6. Pinyin Cheng Yu
Another one that’s all about Chinese idioms! But this one uses Hanyu Pinyin for guessing, in my view, this is more challenging. Perhaps this would work better for those who are less familiar with Chinese Characters.
