5 Letter Word Games Like Wordle

Finished today’s Wordle and want more? There are plenty of five-letter word-guessing games that use the same green, yellow and grey clues. Here are some popular ones, and how our tools can help with each.

Dordle

Dordle has you solve two Wordle puzzles at the same time, with seven guesses in total. Every guess counts for both boards, so the best guesses test letters that help with both. Enter each board’s clues into our solver separately to see the options for each.

Quordle

Quordle raises it to four words at once, with nine guesses. A strong opener matters even more here, because it gives you information on four boards at once. Try one of our best Wordle starting words.

Octordle

Octordle has eight boards and thirteen guesses. It rewards careful letter coverage: in the early guesses, aim to test as many different common letters as possible.

Absurdle

Absurdle is an adversarial version: the game changes its answer to avoid your guesses for as long as it can. The aim is to corner it in as few guesses as possible. Words with common letters still help, because they force the game into smaller groups of words.

Longer and shorter versions

Many Wordle-style games let you play with four, six or seven letters. The same clue colours apply, and so do the same strategies. Use our 6 letter word finder, 7 letter word finder or 4 letter word finder, each with its own solver.
