/usr/share/dict/words didn't exist in my system. Had to replace it with /usr/share/dict/cracklib-small

Nice list. I built three character-guessing games, each with a few daily modes, if you ever feel like adding them:

  • OWdle: Guess the daily Overwatch hero
  • Deadlockle: Guess the daily Deadlock hero
  • WuWadle: Guess the daily Wuthering Waves Resonator

Thanks for putting this together.

Japanese-native, but there's also an English version (https://ayatokigame.com/en/) and a Traditional Chinese version (https://ayatokigame.com/zh/), both aimed at people learning Japanese.

Thanks for putting the list together. Here's an addition that could be a good fit:

  • Wordspine: A free daily word game built around a simple twist: you're given a sequence of letters, and every answer must use those letters in order. It starts easy and grows trickier, with two modes—Sprint for a quick 10-word run, and Pro for a slower, deeper puzzle.

Hi! Could you add roughly.is? It is a set of small daily guessing games (not word games, but the same daily format with a shareable result):

  • Where?: guess where an animal lives on the map
  • When?: guess the year something happened
  • How big?: guess how many times bigger one thing is than another
  • How many?: guess how many people fit into something famous
  • How expensive?: guess what something cost in a given place and year
  • How sweet?: guess how much sugar is in food
  • How wide?: guess how big one city is next to another
  • Which way?: draw a river or mountain range from memory
  • Where from?: guess where a company is from by its logo
  • Who?: guess what share of people said yes in real surveys

Thanks for the list!
