There will eventually come a day when I grow tired of all the games like Wordle that have flooded the internet this year. But that day is still a long way off. As long as people keep on making them, I'll keep on playing them, and this week another twist on the popular formula appeared, one that puts your weather-guessing skills to the test while retaining the familiar Wordle format.
In Cloudle, you're given a city somewhere in the world and instead of the usual letters to enter your guesses, you've got weather icons.
