It seems like only yesterday that Wordle had come out of nowhere to take the world by storm
But if the brain teasing language challenge has gone stale for you, or has left you frustrated with its choice of words, we have compiled a list of some of the best alternatives.
Whether you would prefer a tougher challenge, something with a little bit of pop culture, or a geographical take on the game, there are plenty of options to choose from.

The first on our list is a relatively new one, and one for the film buffs.
You are presented with a frame from a movie. If you don’t get it in your go you are given a different frame from the same movie and so on. You get six different frames in total.
Check it out here.
Heardle
Another one for the culture heads.
In this game you are given a second long audio clip of a song and six guesses, and can request to play an extra second of the song.
Most of the songs chosen are bangers, and we would highly recommend checking it out here.

Worldle
This is one for the geography fans among us.
You are given the outline of a country’s shape and six guesses. After each guess you are told how the country is from your guess and in what direction.
Today’s answer was particularly difficult. See if you can get it here.
Quordle

Wordle but with four words and eight guesses. It can be a bit of brain melter at times, and requires your upmost concentration.
See here if you are up to the challenge.

Wordle as Gaeilge, and a brilliant initiative to promote out native language.
If you feel like the Irish you learnt in school is on the wane, this is a great way to improve again. Or if you are an experienced speaker, it is a fun way to test your fluency.
