I'll be honest, I never quite understood the fascination with daily games that Wordle seems to have sparked. I'll grant that it's probably better than being stuck in algorithmic feeds, but the retention strategies, such as streaks, are just as manipulative.
I wanna play a game when and how often I like and not be forced into a daily pattern and be made to feel awful if I miss it just once.

Nice. The build your ritual is quite a cute feature.

I like the collection, but I'd love it if someone would make a high-quality open source clone of them. They're so simple, I really don't care if it's AI slop under the hood as long I don't have to endure the pointless tracking and ads most of them employ.
A clone rater would be a great service to this genre, since many of the clones out there are somehow, just, really bad - maybe because the barrier to entry is so low?

This collection is missing my personal fave: https://javdle.com (very NSFW)
