A free daily word puzzle game

Wordly is a free app that presents the user with word puzzles to solve. It features new puzzles every day, giving the user a limited number of tries to solve each one of them. Color-coded squares feature heavily.

This game is intended to appeal to fans of word games, like Scrabble and Crossword Forge. The game is free but supported by ads. However, many users report that the frequency of ads shown is very low.

A popular word challenge

Wordly features a style that will undoubtedly be popular with many, as it is one of several games that features this style. Most notably, Wordle. The game features a square grid, six rows deep and five columns across. The game’s goal is to guess the word within six attempts by trying random words across the grid.

Clues

For every word the player tries, the letters are color-coded. An orange letter means that the letter is in the word but not in the right place. A green letter means the player has entered the correct letter in the correct place. Using these clues, the player must guess the correct combination and order of letters to make that day’s word.

A compelling puzzle game, if not particularly original

Wordly is undoubtedly a compelling word puzzle game, and the fact that new challenges are delivered each day means it works well as a brain-teaser. With that said, there are more well-known versions of this game style available, and Wordly doesn’t add anything to the formula.

Harder puzzles

One thing Wordly offers to keep players interested in the game is a harder puzzle mode, which features longer words. The player will also get an increased number of guesses in the harder mode, but there are not as many extra guesses as they get for extra letters.
