More puzzles to solve! Just what everyone needs, right?
Posting this in response to @Amanda Hugginkiss. I decided to make a separate thread here to help others who need more time-killers. Er... mental stimulation! Yeah, THAT's what these are.

Also liking Jeff Chen's Squeezy game which Matt recommended. Oh dear, yet another word game added to my daily roster...

What else is in your daily roster? I need some fresh games!

First of all, there are some interesting suggestions in this article that @boharr linked earlier that I hadn't heard of. And have yet to try, but they are on my list to check out:

From Wordle to Gordle, Fans Do Anything to Keep Their Streaks Alive
People go to great lengths so they don’t miss playing games that reset daily, from setting alarms at 12:01 a.m. to hiding in a bathroom stall on vacation. ’It’s emotionally damaging for me when I lose a streak.’

My list of puzzles:
The ubiquitous WORDLE.
CONNECTIONS - a word-grouping game.
THRICE - a trivia quiz.
TODDLE - a word-finding game.
PIXIE - a visual puzzle that stopped updating two days ago so I fear it has just gone defunct But you can still solve the archive.

And it goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway!) - all the wonderful meta puzzles that get posted to this forum.

And all the WSJ daily (non-meta) and weekly variety and number puzzles. Except Killer Sudoku. That one's beyond me.

What's on your list?

I like the Washington Posts Codeword https://games.washingtonpost.com/games/codeword (but the forced ad watching is frustrating). You are given a crossword grid were the letters are assigned number and you must guess what letter goes to the numbers.

I love https://www.sedecordle.com/. You can play 16 Wordles at once and they have several variations.

If you like Wordle, here is a long list of variants:

Connections
Wordle
Letter Boxed

A couple of others that haven't been mentioned here:

https://anigrams.us/ (anagrams, of course!)

https://hryanjones.com/guess-my-word/ (enter a word, and you are told whether your word is before or after the target word alphabetically - 2 new words per day)

Also highly recommend the various Rows Garden subscriptions available, from Michael Blake, Andrew Ries, Joon Pahk, etc. Feel free to ask me if you can't find the links.

Yeah, I thought it was going to be a link, not an encyclopedia.

I enjoyed the list!

To be mean, I shared it with my herd of sisters. I won't be hearing from them for a few months.

Oh! forgot one...
Framed Guess the movie title from series of 6 stills.
