Wikitrivia is addicting. You've been warned. Ask @FancyRex
I don’t play many games anymore and if I do, it’s on my phone. Which isn’t great. Balatro, Slay the Spire, and Wordscapes are my top three.
Worldle - gives you the map of a country and you guess. It tells you distance and direction if wrong.
Sometimes it easy (France, Mexico) but a lot of times its somewhere random in Africa or Oceania and it's really tough.

I played it because I dig geography games. It's a little different. It just gives the outline of the country and doesn't place it on the globe. There are also a bunch of subsequent questions asking about demographics, language, etc. Kinda cool.
I did Wordle routinely for a few months, then I "got too good at it." 
My starting word, usually, is RATES.

Too easy to cheat on Wordle (the brain is willing, but the keyboard is weak), so I've switched to playscrabble.com's daily three...
Scrabblegrams where you swap letters to spell the "hidden" words. I hardly ever go under the goal swaps. Haven't quite caught on to any obvious strategies.
Then the Daily Challenge where you get five Scrabble draws and see how many points you get just playing the tiles yourself and not against the computer. There's no set goal here, so I always challenge myself to get at least 100 pts in 5 plays. Not that easy when you draw snrklyx and you've already committed all your vowels.
Last but not least, there is Word Summit where you get a tray of seven letters and a gameboard with words on it. Your job to find the highest-scoring word you can play on the board. I'm sort of on to them...it's generally a huge long word and most of all of the letters you add fit into smaller words on the grid as well. You get six tries with hints at each try.
