    Wordle puzzlers rejoice - Wordle Unlimited takes away the biggest flaw (for some) in the game

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

    You dont need us to tell you that Wordle is pretty popular - but some people want more than just a single game per day. If thats you, then Wordle
    Unlimited is the new bookmark youre going to want in your expanding list of the best Wordle spinoffs .

    The premise is as simple as you might think: when youve finished a game (because youve become a ninja at how to win Wordle every day ), a simple
    press of Enter will start a new one, and you can spend your train ride,
    boring dinner or work-avoiding toilet break gloriously swimming in millions
    of Wordle words.

    However, unlike the now-NY-Times-owned standard Wordle , there are loads of customization features that users might like on Wordle Unlimited - for instance, you can set your own word length between 4-11 letters, or move the position of the Enter key so you dont accidentally put in a letter when you didnt mean to.

    One of the key problems with a never-ending version of Wordle is that you don't have the community spirit that comes with everyone in the world being challenged with the same word each day. Wordle Unlimited addresses (and in
    our view, enhanced) that problem: you can start a Wardle, where you challenge your pals to play the same Wordle. This way you still get that community feel of all your closest people all trying to get the daily Wordle.

    Better still - for those that want to be a little bit more evil, you can set the word for your circle to all have a go at, so the war can be truly personal.

    Its going to be interesting if Wordle Unlimited is around for much longer -
    it was brought to life in January, but given its using Wordles name and a
    very similar user interface, we can see the NY Times legal team taking a
    look. How to install Wordle Unlimited on your iPhone

    One of the handy features of Safari on the iPhone is the ability to set a website as a pseudo-app. Its not something you get from the App Store, but if you navigate to the Wordle Unlimited site on Safari, tag the Share icon (a
    box with an arrow pointing upwards) and click Add to home screen option.

    Clicking the Wordle Unlimited icon on your phone will take you to a site that is shorn of the URL bar, and you can focus on your game. Its basically
    similar to a very stripped-down app.

    If youre not certain this Unlimited version is for you - and, to be honest, were with you, as the simplicity of the game is what sold us on it - then you can just save the Wordle game now and play in offline mode for years to come
    , as it could well go behind a paywall at some point and join the rest of the NY Times games.
