Wordle Variants: Same Grid, New Rules

Wordle variants keep the grid and the colors but change what they tell you. In Transwordle the hidden word changes after every miss, in Fibble one tile in every row lies, Absurdle switches its answer to dodge you, and Xordle hides two words on one board

A closer look

Some variants change the feedback itself. Woodle only counts the letters in the right and wrong places without saying which ones, and Phrazle adds purple for a letter that belongs to another word of a phrase. Betweenle drops letter colors and works with alphabetical order

Others wrap Wordle into a bigger game. WorDungeon is a dungeon crawl with a boss on every floor, and Wordle Blast stacks clue blocks like Tetris and turns the closed ones into points

Questions people ask

Which Wordle variant cheats?

Absurdle. With each guess it reveals as little as it can and changes the secret word if it needs to. Guesses are unlimited, and the best possible score is 4

Is there a Wordle where the tiles lie?

Yes, Fibble: one tile in every row gives false information, in the same positions for every player. You can flag tiles you suspect and mark the ones you know are true

Is there a Wordle where the word changes?

Yes, Transwordle. After every miss the hidden word is swapped for a new one, and your earlier rows and the keyboard are recolored for it. Guess the current word and you win

Is there a Wordle with a whole phrase?

Phrazle asks for a missing phrase instead of a single word, with daily and practice modes and versions with 4, 5 and 6 letters
