You don’t need us to tell you that Wordle is pretty popular — but some people want more than just a single game per day. If that’s you, then Wordle Unlimited is the new bookmark you’re going to want in your expanding list of the best Wordle spinoffs.
The premise is as simple as you might think: when you’ve finished a game (because you’ve become a ninja at how to win Wordle every day), a simple press of Enter will start a new one, and you can spend your train ride, boring dinner or work-avoiding toilet break gloriously swimming in millions of Wordle words.
However, unlike the now-NY-Times-owned ‘standard’ Wordle, there are loads of customization features that users might like on Wordle Unlimited — for instance, you can set your own word length between 4-11 letters, or move the position of the ‘Enter’ key so you don’t accidentally put in a letter when you didn’t mean to.
One of the key problems with a never-ending version of Wordle is that you don't have the community spirit that comes with everyone in the world being challenged with the same word each day. Wordle Unlimited addresses (and in our view, enhanced) that problem: you can start a Wardle, where you challenge your pals to play the same Wordle. This way you still get that community feel of all your closest people all trying to get the daily Wordle.
Better still — for those that want to be a little bit more evil, you can set the word for your circle to all have a go at, so the war can be truly personal.
