Why I collect DLES (opens in new tab)

I put a word game together, it was a fun exercise. Nobody plays it except my wife and her family. It's really not even finished or even that good. Since it's one of the few things she likes that I made, it's still up with a user base of 3.

Depends on the game, I stopped wordle because it didn't give me any validation when I solved it anymore, but some games are genuinely fun, and the "daily" element is only because they're replayable puzzles, like sudoku or crosswords, try https://cluesbysam.com/ for example, it's my favourite, difficulty scales by day so Monday is easiest

Yes, there's a huge debate among the DLE makers whether to add streaks and leaderboards at all. These can be stressful and actually cause players to drop. The original Wordle had none of that and that's why it was so successful.

On the other hand, not every game gets acquired by NYT and something has to pay for the bills, Wordle used to have an AWS bill 900 USD a day before the acquisition.

I have a bunch of games or puzzles I do (mostly) daily but never cared about the streaks or any of that. Pure enjoyment.

To answer your question: most ppl enjoy routine and the satisfaction of checking a box, no matter what that box is.

I don't understand this

this is my girlfriend's new favorite, thank you

Uff

TY! You'd be surprised how many people forget to play their DLES cause they just play too many. This solves that.
