In reply to Mike. Are they different each day or did we fail at counting yet again?

I liked Crickdle and Stumple. The other two can go to hell because the six-letter one requires seven-letter guesses and the seven-letter one requires six-letter guesses.

In reply to Ged Ladd. That kind of thing is, alas, beyond the scope of present day technology.

My sister and I used to play a game where I would email her the career statistics of people who played 3 ODIs for New Zealand during the 90s and she had to guess who it was.

It was called Warren Wisnewski or Glen Sulzberger?

In reply to Ged Ladd. Tradle reminds us of when we were in Maharashtra and a 10-year-old boy called Shaun tried to engage us in conversation. "What are your country's major crops?" he asked us as an opener. We couldn't answer with any real confidence so tried to turn the conversation to cricket. He had a really super-weird favourite cricketer but we can't exactly remember who. It was someone like Steve Rhodes but probably actually even more obscure than that.

If only there were a wordle-type on-line cricket game that was based on cricketers’ characteristics, such as their hirsuteness and/or rotundness as well as their on-field achievements.

It might be named “cricket top trumple” or something of that ilk.

In reply to King Cricket.

Tradle is wonderful, Bail-out, thank you for that. Quite similar to Worldle (country map shapes) which I also like, but Tradle is more interesting than Worldle. I got Tradle in three today – schoolboy error on the second guess – I should have got it in two. Today’s Worldle was a doddle.

Stumple is the only one of the above lot that seems to be maintaining my interest. The third Crickdle I tried will almost certainly be my last.
