For Star Wars fans SWordle, there’s a Wordle alternative.
Developers have paid homage to Wordle’s addicting concept thanks to the app’s meteoric rise to fame. Mathler and Worldle (sp.) are two Wordle equivalents that put your geographic knowledge to the test by substituting words with nation borders.
SWordle is a new competitor aimed squarely at Star Wars aficionados. Aurebesh Files came up with Wordle, a word cloud generator that only accepts words that have some connection to the galaxy far, far away. The Millennium Falcon-shaped Delete key is included.
A proper letter in the correct placement is shown by the colour of the word, and a letter in the incorrect location is indicated by a colour of the letter. For droid-related reasons, numerals may be used.
On the surface, it seems to be less difficult. Despite the fact that Wordle may theoretically choose any of the 9,000 five-letter terms in the Scrabble Dictionary, there are only a few clear Star Wars implications to choose from. ENDOR VADER, FORCE, XWING, and the rest are standard fare.
If you’ve been following my progress over the last two days, you can clearly see that I’m not a Star Wars fan. A character named Kit Fisto from the films Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith won yesterday’s word of the day competition. Today’s game is even more esoteric and doesn’t need a lengthy post on the Star Wars fandom wiki, so don’t give it away (spoilers, obviously).
Many more Wordle clones exist if Star Wars isn’t your cup of tea. Using terms like MORDOR and BILBO, Lordle of the Rings follows a similar approach, whilst Squirdle is a cleverly designed alternative for Pokemon lovers.
Even if the original Wordle isn’t purchased by the New York Times, there’s still possibility for these more specialised offers. Anyone interested in purchasing SWordle? “I’ll take low seven digits any day,” the makers jokilly tweeted.
