If you love Wordle you'll love this list of the top 11 Wordle-like games that will waste your time.

Ben Affleck just revealed that he and his famous friends share a celebrity Wordle group and I'm jealous. According to The Hollywood Reporter  his friends include Matt Damon, Jason Bateman, and Bradley Cooper. He admits,

"And let's face it, going up against actors, it's not a high bar. I expected to do fairly well, so I was seriously humbled.

You have to do the Wordle, the Quordle and the Octordle, and add up your score, and then whoever gets the lowest score wins for the day."

I don't have famous friends to play Wordle against, but I do love it.  Every day I get a message from my sister and then my brother-in-law with their Wordle scores and I always try to beat them. I usually don't. I'm pretty sure they cheat. But don't tell them that.

Check out these top 11 Wordle-like games that will waste your day away ...

Squabble

Squabble is a Wordle-esque game that allows you to play against several other players and it. is. tense.

Hello Wordl

Hello Wordl is Wordle, but you decide the number of letters.

Hurdle

This one is tricky. Hurdle gives you the number of letters that are correct, but it doesn't tell you where they are in the word.

Absurdle

This game is exactly as advertised - absurd.  The game uses your words against you. It actually changes the correct word as you guess so that none of your letters match. Absurd, but I'm obsessed

Crosswordle

OMG - this is the Mecca for crossword fans.

Worldle

Not a typo. Worldle. It's geographical. Try it.

Speedle

Okay, maybe you've mastered Wordle. Now time yourself.

Waffle

This one is super fun. You have all the letters in a waffle grid and you have to move the letters around the grid to create words.

Lewdle

You've got a potty mouth. So does this game.

Cloudle

Really?

Sumplete

I love this one because it kind of combines Wordle with another one of my favorites, Sudoku. Check it out:
