For example, if you guess Chile, Worldle might show you 13,557 kilometers and an arrow pointing northeast with 32%. Instead of gray, yellow and green blocks marking letters or numbers after each guess, you see distance, direction and proximity percentage, like a game of hot and cold. This geography-based Wordle spinoff gives you six tries to guess what country or territory is shown. Worldleĭon't like words or numbers? Give Worldle a shot. While this game is based off #CultureTags, the acronyms used in that game aren't repeated in IYKYK.

In this game, you are given an acronym and have to figure out the acronym in three guesses or less.

If Wordle had a grid and you were solving for six five-letter words at once, you'd get Waffle. It sounds easy, but I've found this version of Wordle to be much harder than the original. If you can use every letter on the keyboard and not get the word right, you win. Gray means the letter isn't in the word and can't be used again, yellow means the letter is in the word and must be included in each subsequent guess and red means the letter is in the exact position within the word and is locked in place. When you guess, letters will turn gray, yellow or red.
