3-4-or-5 Letter Wordle
Play Wordle, your favorite NYT game, with varying word lengths. However, instead of colors, "G" for green, "Y" for yellow, and "." for none are feedback.
Basket of Letters
You get a basket of random letters. Your goal is to make as many real English words as possible using only those letters. Each valid word gives you points equal to its length.

Customizable Wordle
In this game, the player gets to choose the word length for the word that they are attempting to guess.

Educated Guess
I have implemented Educated Guess, a word-guessing game similar to hangman. The goal is to figure out the secret word, letter by letter, within the number of attempts chosen.
Choose one of three game modes: easy, medium, or hard. From there, play through a game with standard, wordle-like rules... with the catch that your letters are only indicated as correct when they're also in the correct position. To make up for the shortfall, you're given 8 tries to guess your word. This game is substantially more difficult to solve than standard wordle, hence it being entitled evil wordle. With about 5600 four letter words, 4000 five letter words, and 8500 six letter words, each setting increases substantially in difficulty. While you might not be able to solve every clue, with smart guessing and strategy the game gets easier. Happy wordle-ing!
Finnerbz
Finnerbz is a fun single-player word game that mixes elements of Hangman and the basketball game Horse. The name “Finnerbz” comes from a combination of my two dogs, Finn and Ferb. The goal is to guess a secret 5, 6, or 8 letter word one letter at a time before you run out of your eight Finnerbz lives. Every correct guess earns points and keeps your streak alive. Whenever you guess correctly, the game shouts “EVANza! ”—a play on my name—while a wrong guess earns a “PALMERed!” moment, also based on my name.
Frankenwords
