Thirty-two Wordle boards at once, thirty-seven guesses, no mercy. The logical end point of the whole 2022 craze.

Zach Gage's daily puzzle collection — Cross|word, Flipart, Really Bad Chess — with the best interface in the genre by a distance.

A Wikipedia article with every meaningful word blacked out; guess words to reveal them until you can name the subject.

Seven letters, one compulsory centre letter, and the long climb from Solid to Genius. Ruins mornings extremely productively.
A daily letter grid with dozens of words buried in it, plus a bonus list that runs on far longer than anyone expects.
A word search with a theme you have to deduce first, and one spangram threading corner to corner through the grid.
Swap letters around a waffle-shaped grid to fix six words at once, with only fifteen swaps and stars for every one you save.
