NookGrid, MultaVerba, and InferIt are in the DLE Directory now. I opened today’s puzzles. I did not grind for a score. The interesting part is what each one asks you to hold in your head at once.
NookGrid is a tiny street that only fits one way
You get a dated, numbered street and nine buildings. The grid is 3×3. The clues talk about rows, columns, and who shares a side. A corner does not count as touching. That small rule is where people rush. You drag or tap a shop onto a square, then watch the rest of the list get tighter or fall apart.
Undo puts a piece back. A one-place reveal will drop a building if you stall. There is a starter if you want a first mark made for you. I left the board empty. The friction is spatial, not timed. No account. Play it on the official site.
MultaVerba is one 5×5 and however long you want to stay
Everyone gets the same letters today. You build words from neighboring tiles and send them. Each tile prints the points it is worth, so a cheap path and a rich path do not feel the same. I sent nothing. The loop is still clear: this is an open hunt, not a six-guess lock.
Guest play works. A profile is only if you want history kept. The board will still be there tomorrow, replaced. Play it on the official site.
InferIt already made the guesses. You still have to finish
Daily is five shared puzzles for the calendar date. Each puzzle hands you clue rows that are already scored. One count is letters in the right seat. The other is letters that appear, but not there. You mark the tiles, then type the only five-letter word that still fits. I did not enter an answer. The interesting part is that you never get to pick a probing guess.
A Standard track of 100 levels sits next to Daily. That is extra. The daily habit is the five. No account. Play it on the official site.
Which of these should you try first?
Start with NookGrid if you want a short spatial sit and you like clues that argue with each other. Start with MultaVerba if you would rather browse a letter field than close a case. Start with InferIt if you like Wordle-shaped tiles and you do not want to spend the opening guesses yourself. All three are free in a browser.
FAQ
Are all three games updated daily?
Yes. NookGrid labels Today’s puzzle with a date and a number. MultaVerba shares one new 5×5 each day. InferIt Daily is five shared puzzles on the calendar date.
Do these games require an account?
No. All three play in the browser without a sign-in. MultaVerba offers an optional profile if you want ranking and history saved.
Is InferIt the same as Wordle?
No. You do not make the guesses. The clue rows are already scored, and you prove the only word that fits those counts.
Is MultaVerba just Boggle?
No. It is its own daily 5×5. The day’s letters are shared, and the tiles carry printed point values.
Is NookGrid a number puzzle?
No. You are placing named buildings from written clues, not filling digits.
Conclusion
NookGrid ends when the street is the one layout that fits, or when you take the reveal. MultaVerba ends when you decide you have hunted enough. InferIt ends when the five words are proved, or when you leave a puzzle open. Pick the kind of unfinished you can live with tomorrow.
