Contexto
I kicked Wordle 3 months ago, but have been doing these for a couple of weeks. You have unlimited guesses to find a secret word, but the word is based on context and similarity rather than letter pattern. The word is usually a noun so "animal" is a good first guess.

Today was tough, but my record is 3 guesses. The scoring report is similar to Wordle.
I played contexto.me #120 but I gave up in 33 guesses.

I've been toying with Semantle (similar idea) ever since Ms.Tracy mentioned it in an article about her being made editor for Wordle.

Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

There is a "get a tip" feature that I use after floundering 15-20 times. It gives you a word in the top 100.

Now that I'm getting the hang of it it's oddly entertaining. Don't know about "addictive", but it's alright....
