These spinoffs are plenty of fun and with their own unique themes and twists, they allow you to explore the uncharted territories in the Wordle format. Plus, as Wordle is limited to being just ‘one puzzle a day’, so once you’re done with today’s Wordle, you can check out these other games for added fun.
