A mastermind-like version of Wordle
Wordle reminded me of Mastermind, a game I played as kid, so just for fun I made a version of the game that plays a lot more like Mastermind. I think this version is way more challenging :)
A mastermind-like version of Wordle launched on February 11, 2022 with 40 votes, #918 of 2,645 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.
In plain words
This is a word puzzle game inspired by the classic code-breaking game Mastermind. Players guess hidden words and receive feedback on letter positions and accuracy, similar to Wordle but with Mastermind's deduction mechanics. The game is designed for puzzle enthusiasts seeking a more challenging word-guessing experience. It combines the familiar Wordle format with the strategic depth of Mastermind gameplay.

I made a little math game named Summle2022 · summle.net · ▲189I made this game for my children to play, as they are heavily into Wordle, and I thought they'd also like something maths based! Every puzzle is solvable and has at least one solution (usually more). There is a kids mode in the settings, plus a hard mode for extra difficulty.
