Description:
A new Wordle clone takes the guessing games formula and ups the challenge.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Wordle isnt going anywhere, but it might be getting easier . While other Wordle clones like Heardle have repurposed its five-letter-guessing formula
in different ways, a new spin-off ups the challenge for those brainiacs who fancy themselves kings of the linguistic guessing game.

Scholardle is pitched as Wordle for those who like a challenge. Created by
the company behind academic proofreading tool Writeful, it follows the same template of the original game. Youll need to guess a five-letter word in five tries or less, using color clues to narrow down the correct answer. The
target word resets every 24 hours, and the game will record your winning streak.

The twist, however, is that you wont be trying to guess from the everyday vocabulary were all familiar with, but words from the esoteric, jargon-filled world of academia. Its creators say theyve collected a list of the top academic words for Scholardle, effectively challenging your understanding of the most obscure vocabulary in the English language.

That should increase the challenge a fair bit, although university students and professors may have an advantage after reading all those academic
journals and manuscripts.

You can play the game on the Scholardle website and it can be played on any device that can open a web browser.

The game is based on an open-source project called Reactle that was designed as a clone of Worlde to be openly shared and edited into different versions
or themes. Its based on the same open-source code that was used to create the Pokmon-themed Squirdle and the Harry Potter-styled Wizarding Wordle .

Scholardle also includes an optional hard mode that forces you to use any revealed hints in subsequent guesses, as well as a dark and high contrast
mode display mode. Another clone to get you hooked

After Wordle took the internet by storm earlier this year, it didnt take long for clones of the guessing game to pile up. Some cater to specific themes, others expand the games features in new directions, while many more simply copy the games basic format so you dont have to wait 24 hours for another challenge.

Scholardle probably wont see the same success as the original game, but for those players who have mastered its algorithm and committed every casual word in the English language to memory, its academic spin will provide a new challenge. We wont go so far as to say youll learn much by playing the game, but maybe youll pick up some highfalutin terms you can show off to your friends.

We can be sure this wont be the last Wordle spin-off, though. As long as people are eager for a linguistic challenge, others will be creating more Wordle clones. Games like Wordle
