Crosswordle: Sudoku Meets Wordle

Play Crosswordle - Recreate a valid wordle grid given the final row and color coded tiles for the guesses. Regular wordle rules apply. Rows cannot reuse letters already eliminated in previous rows. Every row must be a valid five letter word.

Crosswordle: Sudoku Meets Wordle launched on January 17, 2022 with 31 votes, #933 of 2,891 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

Crosswordle combines Sudoku logic with word-guessing gameplay. Players solve puzzles by finding words that fit both crossword-style clues and letter-position constraints, similar to how Sudoku requires strategic placement. Launched in January 2022, the game appeals to word puzzle enthusiasts and logic game fans who enjoy the challenge of satisfying multiple puzzle rules simultaneously. Each puzzle requires deduction to determine which words work in their designated spaces.

  • I built a dual crossword puzzle where two crosswords share one gridApr 2026 · forkle.co.uk · ▲20

    Forkle (forkle.co.uk) is a daily word game where two thematically linked crosswords occupy the same grid simultaneously. Every tile contains two letters - one belonging to each puzzle - displayed as a diagonal colour split. Where the two puzzles intersect, some tiles share the same letter, giving you a foothold into both crosswords at once. The mechanic has two layers: the shared grid, and the connected themes. Each day's two crosswords are thematically paired around a central idea. For example, a previous puzzle was "Same House, Different Kingdoms" - same home, same humans, entirely…

  • History: Last year I had to replace the tire on my bike, and I was surprised how difficult it was to find a suitable new tire. There were a lot of numbers written on the casing, so I googled what they meant. In the end I was successful, but I didn't want to do the same work again for the next bike after I've forgotten the details. So I wrote this website. Technically, the web page is kept very simple, no frameworks, no templates, no website builder. It uses HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, and it privides a responsive layout for mobile usage. I'm happy to receive feedback. If you have tried the…
