Wordle inspires Dungleon, a “guess the dungeon” web game

It was released online last October. WordleThe New York Times has made it a huge viral success, turning what was once a daily distraction from the internet into an actual phenomenon. Aside from inspiring whole swaths of players to devise their own strategies for correctly guessing each day’s new word, Wordle now seems to have inspired a nascent subgenre of “Wordle-likes.” That now includes Dungleon, a web-based “guess the dungeon” game that takes the original game’s word-based design and substitutes it for heroes, monsters, and glorious loot.

Felipe Dal Molin developed this website.@Lipedal), Clément Dussol (@clementdussol), and Bruno Ruchiga (@brunoruchiga), DungleonSimilar to Wordle with players being offered six chances to guess the composition of a five-character “dungeon” in lieu of a five-letter word.

The basic idea is still the same. DungleonThe core design is modified Wordle by introducing several secret rules that define the composition of every dungeon, such as a dungeon must consist of at least one “hero” character and one “monster” character, and that certain pieces only appear in a specific spots. If one makes three or more mistakes, the game will be over. Dungleon offers players assistance in the form of “magic spells” that either remove invalid pieces or highlight correct ones without using a guess. Enjoy Wordle, Dungleon spawns new “dungeon” every day, allowing players the opportunity play again and again to their heart’s content.
