Four Wordles at once with nine guesses. The split keyboard takes a day to learn, then it becomes the best ten minutes of the morning.
A clean, fan-made daily Wordle with hard mode, a dark theme, honest stats and seven languages. Not the New York Times game, and it says so.

How we review
We play each game’s daily puzzle and its other modes before writing, and we check every feature we describe against the game itself. The editor score is our own opinion. The reader rating on each review is the average of everyone who voted there.
