Individual game pages are the authoritative source for current rules and formats. ## Detailed game notes ### Werdle - URL: https://bludle.com/werdle/ - Category: Word - How to play: Enter a valid five-letter word. Green letters are correct, amber letters belong elsewhere, and grey letters are not in the answer. Use the keyboard evidence to narrow the next guess. - Distinguishing mechanic: Werdle keeps the familiar deduction loop but adds a word-origin reveal, so every solved puzzle ends with something worth learning. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### Bludle - URL: https://bludle.com/bludle/ - Category: Word - How to play: Read each blue tile as a letter value: A is the lightest end of the scale and Z is the darkest. Translate the five shades, submit a word, and use the new colour evidence to refine it. - Distinguishing mechanic: Bludle turns spelling into visual decoding. The alphabet-to-colour mapping never changes, so pattern recognition improves naturally with repeated play. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### Codle - URL: https://bludle.com/codle/ - Category: Word - How to play: Study the encoded word and the active rule, then reverse that transformation to recover the answer. Later rounds combine less familiar rules and require closer comparison. - Distinguishing mechanic: Each puzzle asks you to understand a transformation rather than memorise a single offset, making Codle a compact test of language and logical flexibility. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### Connex - URL: https://bludle.com/connex/ - Category: Word - How to play: Select four words that share a precise connection and submit the group. Correct groups lock into place; incorrect attempts encourage you to reconsider overlaps and red herrings. - Distinguishing mechanic: Connex rewards lateral thinking because plausible relationships often cross the intended groups. The challenge is finding the most exact explanation. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### Word Mash - URL: https://bludle.com/wordmash/ - Category: Word - How to play: Use the clues to solve neighbouring words, then inspect where the end of one answer can become the beginning of another. Every overlap must make the whole chain work. - Distinguishing mechanic: Word Mash combines clue solving with structural reasoning: a likely answer is only useful when it also supports its neighbours. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### Glyph - URL: https://bludle.com/glyph/ - Category: Word - How to play: Inspect the outline made by ascenders, descenders and letter widths. Enter a word that fits the silhouette, or reveal an optional clue when shape alone is not enough. - Distinguishing mechanic: Glyph makes the normally invisible shape of written language into the clue, producing a word game that feels distinct from letter-colour deduction. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### Borrowed Letters - URL: https://bludle.com/borrowedletters/ - Category: Word - How to play: Solve each clue, spot the letter that does not belong, and move the borrowed letters between neighbouring answers until every word is repaired. - Distinguishing mechanic: Every answer affects two others, so progress comes from combining vocabulary with whole-system reasoning rather than solving clues in isolation. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### Shifty Fades - URL: https://bludle.com/shiftyfades/ - Category: Colour - How to play: Compare the target with the candidate swatches and select the exact match. Differences become smaller as the level rises, so early instinct gives way to careful comparison. - Distinguishing mechanic: The difficulty curve is visible and immediate: the task never changes, but your eye must become more precise. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### Colour Match - URL: https://bludle.com/colormatch/ - Category: Colour - How to play: Study the target, adjust the red, green and blue controls, and submit your closest mix. The result reveals the target RGB beside your values and scores the total channel difference. - Distinguishing mechanic: Colour Match turns an intuitive visual judgement into understandable numeric feedback without revealing the answer before commitment. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### Afterimage - URL: https://bludle.com/afterimage/ - Category: Colour - How to play: Study each colour during the viewing phase. Once it vanishes, reconstruct it with the RGB controls and submit to see the target and your remembered mix together. - Distinguishing mechanic: Removing the reference separates colour memory from ordinary matching and shows how quickly a precise visual impression drifts. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### Chroma Lock - URL: https://bludle.com/chromalock/ - Category: Colour - How to play: Memorise the target colour, watch the active colour cycle, and lock it when the two match. Accurate stops advance the run while misses expose the difference. - Distinguishing mechanic: Chroma Lock mixes perception with timing: recognising the correct colour is only half the problem; you must act at the right instant. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### Guess Hue - URL: https://bludle.com/guesshue/ - Category: Colour - How to play: Scan the colour grid and select the tile whose hue differs from the rest. A correct choice extends the streak and reduces the colour gap; a miss ends the run. - Distinguishing mechanic: The four-second limit keeps perception instinctive, while the adaptive hue gap gives every streak a natural difficulty curve. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### Tintuition - URL: https://bludle.com/tintuition/ - Category: Colour - How to play: Adjust hue, saturation and lightness until your colour looks like the target, then lock the answer. Accuracy and remaining time combine into points and combo progress. - Distinguishing mechanic: HSL mirrors the way people describe colour—tone, intensity and lightness—making the feedback easier to learn from than raw guessing. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### XY Marks the Spot - URL: https://bludle.com/hunt/ - Category: Logic - How to play: Choose a coordinate to scan. The game reports the direction and distance to the hidden point; combine successive clues to eliminate locations and make the final find. - Distinguishing mechanic: The required demonstration teaches the coordinate idea with visible possibilities, while real rounds remove those highlights and leave the deduction to you. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### Seequence - URL: https://bludle.com/seequence/ - Category: Logic - How to play: Watch the sequence without making choices, hold the order in memory, and reproduce it only when playback ends. Longer patterns follow successful answers. - Distinguishing mechanic: The interface separates watching from answering, so the challenge measures the sequence you retained rather than your ability to copy it live. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### Dead Centre - URL: https://bludle.com/deadcentre/ - Category: Logic - How to play: Study the target while the canvas is passive. When it disappears and the guessing phase begins, place one marker where you remember its centre and receive a distance score. - Distinguishing mechanic: Changing target sizes and positions make each round a clean test of spatial memory rather than cursor tracking. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### Heardle - URL: https://bludle.com/heardle/ - Category: Audio - How to play: Play the available clip, enter the artist or song you recognise, and use additional audio only when needed. Earlier identification produces the cleanest solve. - Distinguishing mechanic: Heardle turns the instant familiarity of a melody, voice or production style into a concise deduction game. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### Reaction - URL: https://bludle.com/reaction/ - Category: Speed - How to play: Start a trial, wait without anticipating, and respond the moment the visual signal changes. Repeated attempts produce a more useful picture than a single lucky click. - Distinguishing mechanic: The restrained presentation keeps attention on the signal and makes it easy to compare attempts without downloads or setup. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### Alternate - URL: https://bludle.com/alternate/ - Category: Speed - How to play: Wait for the state to switch, respond immediately, and repeat. Correct reactions preserve the run; hesitation consumes the shared clock. - Distinguishing mechanic: Alternate replaces a conventional submitted score with an immediate personal run, keeping the ending quick and replayable. - Access: Free browser game; no download required. ### Trak - URL: https://bludle.com/trak/ - Category: Speed - How to play: Watch the signal establish its speed and path. Continue tracking it mentally after it vanishes, then stop it when you believe it has entered the target zone. - Distinguishing mechanic: Later tracks add curves, loops, letter-like paths and smaller stopping zones, expanding one simple timing action into a varied focus challenge. - Access: Free browser game; no download required.
