Over five years ago, Josh Wardle launched the wildly popular word game Wordle before the New York Times bought the game in 2022. Since then, the game has grown in popularity, and CNET’s Gael Cooper has loads of tips and tricks to help you tackle each NY Times Wordle puzzle, as well as solutions to each puzzle.
Once you finish your Wordle, you’ll have to be patient and wait until the next day for the next puzzle. Thankfully, there are plenty of other word and puzzle games to choose from if you’re still craving a challenge. And some of these games let you play as many times as you want in a day.
Here are 10 other puzzle games you can play now for a fun challenge.

Another New York Times-owned puzzle, Connections is a tricky word game. “Players must select four groups of four words without making more than four mistakes,” the New York Times wrote on X. There are also four color-coded difficulty levels for each game; yellow is the easiest, then green, then blue and finally purple. The game is also similar to the BBC quiz show Only Connect, and the show’s host took to X to point out the connection. See what I did there?
You can play Connections on any web browser but you need a New York Times subscription (which starts at $1 a week) to play.
