Daily games
Games like Wordle, for people who like numbers
Wordle made the once-a-day puzzle a habit: one short game, the same for everyone, and a score you can share. If you've finished today's word and want more, these daily games scratch the same itch with numbers instead of letters.
CapItUp: guess what companies are worth
CapItUp is a daily market cap guessing game. Like Wordle, there's one puzzle a day, it's the same for everyone, and you can share your score without spoilers. Instead of guessing a word, you guess how big companies like Apple, Nike and Costco are. Five rounds take about two minutes: size one company against another with a square, rank four companies by stores or staff, then estimate one number. How to play.
Connections
The New York Times' Connections asks you to sort 16 words into four hidden groups of four. If you like the "find the pattern" part of Wordle, it's the natural next game.
Costcodle
Costcodle shows you one Costco product a day and gives you six tries to guess its price, with higher or lower hints after each guess. It's Wordle's guess-and-narrow loop with prices. More in games like Costcodle.
Size It Up, Fermi and other estimation games
Size It Up has you scale a silhouette to its real size, and Fermi gives you three numeric questions a day with no searching. We wrote a whole page on games like Size It Up.
Globle and Worldle
Geography takes on Wordle: Globle colors countries hotter as you get closer to the mystery country, and Worldle shows you a country's outline to name.
Why a number game after Wordle?
Word games train vocabulary. Estimation games train a different muscle: your sense of scale. After a few weeks of CapItUp you'll know roughly what a $100 billion company looks like next to a $1 trillion one, which comes in handy every time a headline throws a big number at you.
CapItUp is an independent game and isn't affiliated with Wordle, The New York Times or any game named here.
