I'd say the closer comparison is to Mastermind[0].

- bryans 5y agoWordle is basically a clone of Lingo, so that'd be the closest comparison available. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingo_(American_game_show) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingo_(American_game_show)
- iainmerrick 5y agoI was thinking about Mastermind too. I played that one as a kid, but Wordle is a better version of the same idea: - Mastermind is based on abstract codes, Wordle is words. Words are fun! - Wordle is much easier to explain. I could explain it to somebody who hadn’t heard of it and we could be playing on pen and paper inside two minutes.
- bloak 5y agoI initially thought it's just like Mastermind, but with Mastermind you are not told which colours (corresponding to letters) are right: you are just told there is one right in the right place and two right in the wrong places, for example.
