To capitalize on the recent trend of word games like Wordle, Google recently published a new Applied Digital Skills lesson called Make a Word Game.

Google's Applied Digital Skills website is a good place to find lesson plans and activities that you can use to help students learn how to use many features of Google Workspace tools. For example, today's correct answer featured a giant cowboy statue on Route 66 in Oklahoma. Likewise, it could be a fun way to discover new and interesting landmarks. Playing the game could be a fun way for students to practice using the context clues in Street View imagery to identify places around the world. Worldle Daily is free to play and doesn't require registration in order to play it. Here's my short video overview of how to play Worldle Daily. As you get closer, the circle gets smaller until you either use up all of your guesses or guess correctly. A circle covering the area in which the image was taken is also displayed after each guess. After each guess you're shown how far away you are from being correct. The game is played by looking at a featured Street View image then trying to guess, by clicking on a map, where in the world that image was captured.


Worldle Daily is a combination of the Wordle concept and Google Street View imagery. One such variation that I recently tried is Worldle Daily. That hasn't stopped developers from creating many variations on the game. The Wordle craze seems to have settled down a bit since its height earlier this year (or at least fewer people are sharing their scores on social media).
