Games like Wordle: try one where the rarest answer wins
If you love a daily word game but have done Wordle for the day, try Cosmillion. It keeps what makes a daily game fun (one new puzzle a day, the same for everyone, done in minutes) and flips the goal: instead of guessing one hidden word, you name the answer nobody else thinks of.
How it plays
Every day there are 7 prompts, like “Name a fruit” or “Name a spice”, with 25 seconds for each. Any answer that fits counts, but common answers score little and rare ones score a lot. Name a fruit: Apple is +10, Jabuticaba is +100.
Your total flies a rocket from the ocean floor up through the sky, into orbit and out to the edge of the galaxy.
Why Wordle fans like it
One a day, the same for everyone. Compare with friends, keep a streak, come back tomorrow.
Quick. A full game takes about three minutes.
Forgiving spelling. Spelling variants, plurals and accents are accepted, and close typos get a “did you mean”.
Free and instant. No app, no account, no download. It works on your phone and your computer.
