Free mobile Wordle alternative

W Challenge is a free word game developed by Short Cut Games. This game follows the premise of the popular word puzzle game Wordle. Here, you have six tries to guess the five-letter word hidden in each round.

W Challenge's rules are identical to that of Wordle. The only difference is that you are not limited to a single word per day. You can play for as long as you like and without waiting a whole day for a new word to guess. However, as this is free, expect ads, which will play every time you try a word. 

Identical gameplay

Wordle is a browser game that took the world by storm. To date, thousands of players are sharing their results in guessing the daily mystery word on social media, such as Twitter and Facebook. However, the game is played on its website, requiring people to open up a browser to play. Luckily, various other alternatives are available, which offer identical gameplay. One of them is the W Challenge.

Like Wordle, you have six tries to guess the five-letter word. You can do so by typing your guess into the provided tiles. If a letter is correct but not in the right position, it turns yellow. If you type the letter in the right place, it turns green. What makes the difference is that letters that are not in the word will appear in another color on the keyboard.

The advantage of this app from the original is the fact that daily words are unlimited. In other words, you can play as many times as you like. You don't need to wait 24 hours for a new word to appear. However, as this is a free-to-play game, there will be ads. In fact, you will go through one video ad every time you key in your word guess.

Should you play it?

If you are a fan of Wordle and do not wish to wait for a whole day to play, W Challenge is for you. The game has identical gameplay, which is just as addictive as the original. Even better, you are not limited to one word per day. With this, you can play for as long as you like. However, the incessant ads make playing each round longer than necessary.

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
