I like quick low-stakes browser games like this, something fun and fast to wake up your brain with morning coffee. If interested, here are some others I've come across -

Linxicon - build bridges between two words (https://linxicon.com)

WhenTaken - use clues to guess where and when a photo was taken (https://whentaken.com)

Angle - guess the exact arc angle (https://angle.wtf)

Metazooa - deduce the animal species (https://metazooa.com)

Tradle - guess the country by its exports (https://games.oec.world/en/tradle)

Globle - find the country by proximity (https://globle-game.com)

I'd like to add:

Betweenle - Guess the secret word between two words (https://betweenle.com/)

I'm loving this one! Thanks for sharing :)

I've been compiling a bunch of daily games over the past 4 months at https://dles.aukspot.com with all these games and about 200 more, if you're interested!

This one could be a good addition.

Oh! I love a good list! Esp something like geo which is a skill that keeps fading the less I use it.

I do too! This is my first curated list I've shared with others, and I'm really happy I did. If you want a great geography game, GeoGrid is my favorite, but I also love the ones that sort of mimic GeoGuessr with guessing the location based on pictures or satellite images.

Shameless self-promotion:

https://wordmax.game

Released for public preview just today.

Game play similar to Scrabble, but played "duplicate" style.

Admittedly not exactly "quick low-stakes".

Shameless plug:

Logiquiz - Self Referential Logic Puzzle (https://www.logiquiz.com/)

Zebra Puzzles - Daily Zebra Puzzles (https://www.zebrapuzzles.com/)

Zebra puzzles could use a pencil feature and also column labels

FoodGuessr - guess the country of origin for some dish (https://www.foodguessr.com/)

That's a good way to start regional wars.

You could also try

Chrono - arrange historical events in chronological order (https://chrono.quest)

If we're doing self promotion, I'll mention a game I made based on Levenshtein's distance, https://wordistance.com --

(hints enabled by default, but the real game is without them!)

+1 for Metazooa. It's one of my favorites in my daily line up. They also have the (IMO much harder) MetaFlora for plants (https://flora.metazooa.com/)

Also on my list:

- Hashtag wordle (https://everydaypuzzlesgame.com/g/hashtag/index.html)

- NYT Connections (https://www.nytimes.com/games/connections)

Neighborle - Identify border countries and states

https://neighborle.com/

Two logic games I've enjoyed lately:

OneUpPuzzle - Sodoku like game where you need to complete a grid (https://www.oneuppuzzle.com)

Queens - A fun thing to do at LinkedIn :) (https://www.linkedin.com/games/queens)

> Globle

Similar to Globle is Worldle - https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/

And while we're on the globe: https://travle.earth/

Speller - Alphabetize as many words as you can in 60 seconds. (https://1-800-rad-dude.com/speller/)

Every user gets the same word list, words change daily.

> Angle - guess the exact arc angle (https://angle.wtf)

I won't spoil today's Angle answer, but it seems like the game should only offer angles less than 180 degrees.

Self-promo: not a daily challenge, but a quick word game https://danieljanus.pl/wladcyslow/

Adding to the list:

Puzzmo - collection of daily puzzles, including crossword, really bad chess, and more (https://www.puzzmo.com/)

Bandle - guess songs by listening to one instrument at a time (https://bandle.app)

Tried the angle.wtf one, but it seems to be stuck at one angle only (320°) on both browsers I tried on mobile, and it never progresses?

Many of these types of games are daily, so I'd expect it's a different angle tomorrow.

(Thanks for the hint.)

Linxicon wasted way too much of my time after you posted this. Great game!

Tradle is too easy. I want a version where you have to guess by imports.
