This is a remarkably thorough roundup, especially with the regional, math, fandom, and geography variants alongside the familiar multi-grid games. A cleanup tool like ai text cleaner could also help keep descriptions of new Wordle variants clear and consistent when adding them to the list.

Three word-grid games built by a small French team, not on the list yet:

  • Lettrio - Daily Boggle-like word grid shared by everyone: link letters, the grid refills as you play, 3 tries, 60 seconds. Also in French.
  • Mojibam - Turn-based 1v1 word duel on a chess clock, one grid for both players. Extend your opponent's word to steal their points. 60 seconds each.
  • TP - Four players, one shared letter grid, 60 seconds. A longer word that extends a rival's word steals its points. No app, no account.

Forked the gist with the three lines in place if you want to merge them: https://gist.github.com/stefdelec/7eb09e4f2e2ac8a99364439cf25c3ee2
