GAMES LIKE WORDLE
Games like Wordle
PUTTLE is one of the games like Wordle in format — the same puzzle for everyone each day, one counted attempt, a streak and a spoiler-free card to post — but the puzzle is a daily mini-golf course in 3D, not a word. Open https://puttle.golf. No signup.
Is PUTTLE a game like Wordle?
Yes, in format: PUTTLE keeps Wordle's shape — one puzzle a day for everyone, one card, a streak — and changes what your hands do. If your group already texts a letter grid at breakfast, leave that slot alone. PUTTLE is a second habit. Mini-golf. You drag and release. You are not typing a five-letter answer.
Kinds of daily puzzle games
Daily puzzle games split by what your hands do, and PUTTLE is the aim kind:
- Spelling dailies hide a word or a rack.
- Grouping dailies sort a set. Connections lives here. PUTTLE is not an NYT game.
- Geography dailies ask a country, a flag, a photo.
- Aim dailies share a toy you point. PUTTLE is this slot. 3D mini-golf, stroke play, a short sitting.
Format can match Wordle without stealing its mechanic. PUTTLE copies the cadence and swaps the toy.
How many attempts do you get?
One. PUTTLE counts one card per local day, and one mulligan a round can undo a single putt. A useful daily puzzle game is honest about the counted attempt. The World Tour is unlimited practice and skips the board. Close the tab mid-round and a checkpoint keeps your place.
What do you share?
Word dailies post a letter grid. PUTTLE posts a row of colored squares — one per hole, under that hole's toy icon — and your total to par, no aiming lines. Gems stay off the total. The link carries your round as a ghost, so a friend can race it on the same course. Friends crews and the board are optional.
Weekly Open, Sunday Signature and seasons
PUTTLE adds a week on top of Wordle's streak. The Weekly Open totals your seven cards from Monday to Sunday, so a rough Tuesday can be rescued by Thursday. From daily #133 (Sunday 11 October 2026) every Sunday closes on a designed Sunday Signature finale; in Halloween week the night's own finale takes its place. And the scenery keeps time: autumn from 1 to 24 October, then Haunted Hollow for Halloween week, 25 to 31 October. Daily mini-golf games compared: daily mini golf games. What changed lately: what's new.
A Wordle alternative only in format
PUTTLE is a Wordle alternative in format only. You do not guess a word. You judge pull, pace, and the windmill's timing, and try to beat par. Off the island is +1. Stats are saved without an account. Details: About PUTTLE.
The putting analogy: Wordle for mini golf. The geometry framing: golf puzzle game. Cadence: daily golf puzzle. Controls: How to play.
