Wordle is everywhere.
Five letters, one word, once a day, and the social media bragging rights that come with those five green blocks – still, it beats pictures of what you ate for lunch.
Dabble here if you haven’t yet used your daily allotment.
I do sometimes wish I could throw in a filthy five-letter word to spice things up but the Wordle list is pretty down the line (aside from ‘prick’ which was used last week).
Enter Lewdle, which as the name implies deals only in words you wouldn’t use around your mother-in-law. Here’s Mashable:
Lewdle is a lovingly filthified tribute to the massively popular daily word game that’s taken the internet by storm. While you might associate the profane, the scatological, and the erotic more closely with four-letter words, there is no shortage of five-letter options to fill out the exclusively naughty word list.
Fear not because Sweardle covers all the four-letter curse words you can think of.
Lewdle was created by screenwriter Gary Whitta and he’s not ashamed to admit it’s a knock-off:
You all like Wordle, right? The only problem is that when you type in naughty words it’s never the right answer. Well all that ends NOW. Relief is here at last in the form of LEWDLE, the totally free browser-based Wordle knockoff that ONLY uses lewd words! https://t.co/SqcmM1YKky

That man gets it.
Whitta even allows users to submit filthy words which aren’t yet included.
If that doesn’t tickle you fancy then WIRED has a list of alternatives that might while you wait another 23 hours and 55 minutes for your next Wordle:
Scrabble and Hangman, of course, use the same part of your brain that’s trying to figure out words from blanks. They each have various offline and electronic versions, from the board game Word Hangman to Pogo’s online version of Scrabble.
Many Wordle players also get their daily puzzle fix from The New York Times’ offerings, including its famous Crossword and the Spelling Bee game…
Finally, if you want Wordle but really can’t be arsed to wait then I suggest Word Master.
It’s exactly the same as Wordle and you can do as many as you like in a day.
