Wordle has hit the internet, as the aptly named Dungleon turns the formula into a dungeon crawler.Players pick between a number of characters on a keyboard, and just like Wordle they’re shown to either be not in the “word”, somewhere else on the board, or not in that day’s result entirely.Dungleon differs from Wordle though, as it has a few extra rules. These can range from things like each set having at least one hero and monster, certain pieces only appearing in combination with others, and other pieces only ever showing up in specific places.There are also “magic spells” in Dungleon that offer extra help typically not found in Wordle, which can assist players in figuring out the last few dungeon pieces.You can play Dungleon here (via PC Gamer).We made a wordle-like!https://t.co/TP42dtrZ6f is a "guess the dungeon" game, with a new dungeon every day.

By using the word Crane first in every puzzle, Sanderson’s testing results in an average score of 3.438.You can watch the full video – which explains the detail behind his findings – below.In the video, Sanderson uses several sets of information to see how well his algorithm performs.
