Daily Wikipedia Game
The Wikipedia mobile app has a new daily game where everyday it gives you five pairs of historic events from that day in history. Surprisingly difficult, I only got 2 of the 5 for today.
As far as I can tell it's only in the mobile app, there's no desktop implementation.
Here's an example from the 29th:

Murdle.com - Daily logic puzzle to solve a murder
I randomly saw a TikTok about this last night. It's a website which has a new daily logic puzzle for you to solve. They are (thus far for me) all elimination grid logic puzzles. The author of the site also released a book of them, which according to the TikToker also had a plot and narrative as you went through the puzzles.
I'm out of practice at these puzzles, I made a huge whiff when I did the first one last night. This morning I got 3 of the 4. So I am hopeful of getting back on track with these as part of my morning game / puzzle routines.

Word Solitaire
Wordle crossed with Klondike solitaire. You get an array of letters to make five-letter words, and the goal is to clear the board.

WordleBot got smarter
I still do Wordle everyday and usually I like to check what they think of how I did thanks to Wordlebot. This morning I noticed it had a new feature to look at my recent results and not just that day's. Not a huge improvement, but nice to have a history feature for looking back at my past Wordles finally.

Wordlebot
I'm still playing Wordle. This week NYT rolled out Wordle Bot which is a little script they run over your Wordle page and it evaluates and commentates on your word picks. It's interesting, not overly useful, but interesting.
One thing I found interesting is that it points out how many potential answers remain after each word you enter. I've never thought about my word choices from the "What eliminates the most possibilities?" angle. Probably because I'm not a computer. I don't look at the game and start listing possible answers. My heuristic for word choice is usually based around using the most common letters, namely vowels (and honestly, Wheel of Fortune's R S T L N E is a go-to for me.) But it is interesting to see how Wordlebot breaks down your guesses.
I still wish NYT would integrate your Wordle scores into your NYT account so I'd have portability of it and not be limited to doing it on my phone. Granted, I would do it there 90%+ of the time if I had the portability, but it would still be nice to be able to switch over and do it on the laptop sometimes.
Got today's Wordle in four by the way and Wordlebot was very impressed.

My Daily Games
Been thinking about doing this for a while, but I do a fair number of mini games as part of my daily habits. I'm going to start collecting the results here. I might build out a more robust tool for it, but for now, this will do.
