Wordle Clone Octordle Provides The Ultimate Challenge

Since there is only one puzzle each day, players are a lot less likely to feel burnout from overplaying. That being said, the reason for Wordle’s popularity was officially revealed by a psychologist, who claimed that the game stimulates the language and logic processing centers of human brains, thereby releasing dopamine and causing players to return day after day.

Many Wordle clones have jumped on the bandwagon, hoping to obtain at least a portion of the original’s viral success. One early design was Lewdle, developed by Star Wars writer Gary Whitta, which tasks players with guessing a vulgar five-letter word each day. Other, less-naughty options have spawned since, like the Lord of the Rings Wordle clone, Lordle of the Rings, and Moxfield’s Magic: the Gathering version, Moxle. While each has its own unique spin, most of the Wordle clones follow similar gameplay designs as the original, providing six attempts to guess the five-letter word, revealing important letters with color-coded responses. Some Wordle clones are vastly different, however, like Dungleon, a fantasy version of Wordle with dungeon crawler elements.
