Wordletook over the internet with a concept that’s simple to understand, but puzzles that can be tough to solve. It follows in the footsteps of the myriads ofpopular word puzzlesthat came before it, like the iconicScrabble.
It stands to reason, then, that someone would come along and blend the two together. WhileWordlerequires players to guess words instead of filling in a board with their own to rack up points, like inScrabble, one fan has found a way to combine the best parts of both puzzlers together and released it for fellow fans to try out.

The newWordlecloneis calledScrabWordle, combining the two games' names together. Puzzle creator EngagingData shared it with fans on theWordlesubreddit. The premise, much likeWordleandScrabble’s, is easy to understand. Players have a few difficulty levels to start from, but at the start, users are given five opportunities to guess a five-letter word. Akin toWordle, correct letters in the wrong place are highlighted yellow, those in the right place are green, and letters that aren’t used in the puzzle at all appear as grey.
TheScrabbletwist comes into play with the words' scores. Each letter, unlike inWordle, includes a basic point value like they do inScrabble. When users start a puzzle, they’re informed of the word’s score as an additional clue. While guessing the word in just five attempts can be tough, having the score available to compare one’s word to before submitting it can help a lot in determining if a word is correct before spending a turn.
Of course, someWordleandScrabbleexperts may find that setup a little too easy. With that in mind, there are multiple difficulty levels available forScrabWordle. Players can choose between Normal, Hard, and Expert difficulty, with options for 5, 4, and 3 guesses, accordingly. Even with the added clue, this should provide a challenge to even the most avid players of these word games.
EngagingData is listening to comments made on the puzzle, with a request for anyone interested to let them know what they think of the difficulty level at this time. Unlike standardWordle, players can partake in as many words as they want per day, so there’s a lot to keep players occupied when they’re done solving the dailyWordlepuzzle. For big fans ofWordle, clones like these are cropping up everywhere, so even with theNew York Times taking down theWordlearchive, there’s still plenty of ways to get thatWordlepuzzle fix.
