Oh hi! You were asking why does this website even exist?
TLDR: It has 2 goals.
- To become the best place for daily game players to discover new
gamesDaily Logic Exercises (DLES). - To become the best place for daily game makers to launch their new
Wordle clonesunique games.
How it all started you asked?
OK then, some 3 years ago I accidentally made a little daily game called Rotaboxes — it's super niche, ~5k monthly players, very relaxing and I really enjoy working on it in my spare time. Some time ago I noticed some traffic coming from sites that seemed like DLES aggregators, most notably dles.aukspot.com. So of course I went there and discovered many more daily games I never knew existed. I was back then playing daily just Wordle, Nerdle and Rotaboxes. And I was immersed — I started to play from 5 to 10 DLEs every single day, and I kept noting the good ones and kept on playing them regularly. So that's how my little DLE collection started. I started to categorize, group, order and most importantly I built my own daily ritual.
Then I was browsing Reddit and noticed some people complaining about playing so many games daily that they forget to play some and lose their streak, so I thought — hmm, maybe my ritual could be helpful to others. I put together a plan and started building. Today, some 1 year later, the site serves thousands of players monthly and features 3 to 4 new daily games every single week. That's crazy, isn't it?
A couple of rules, so we understand each other.
- All the games listed on dles.gg are played and tested manually by me.
- I don't list games that are not daily.
- I don't list games that are not browser based.
- I don't list games that are not free to play.
- I don't list games that I don't like.
- I don't care if you made your game by hand, pixel by pixel, or if you used AI tools to build it or generate assets — but I hate slop. If the game lacks love, care, and a proud ownership with a human behind it, I won't list it.
- I make a subjective call on whether to list a game based on a bunch of criteria (I'll write about these later).
How can you help
If you regularly play a game I don't have in my collection, submit it here.
If you made a game I don't have in my collection, submit it also there (ha, it's the same place).
If you love a game — add it to your ritual. You will never forget to play it and it will increase the game's popularity and help it rank higher in the most-popular section. If you feel strongly about a game, rate it! 5 stars for absolute must-play, 1 star to be avoided, and anything in between. This helps other players discover the best games in the top-rated section.
As you can imagine, it's near impossible to play all 839 games every day, and as we all know, maintaining a daily game is a lot of work — so sometimes, some games just stop working. If you spot one, please click on that Report broken button. I regularly check these and remove games from the site if they are no longer active. Thank you.
If you'd like your favourite game to be featured, get in touch at [email protected] — we'll figure something out.
Oh, and you're asking how you can help personally? Amazing! Submit games, rate games, add them to your ritual — that all helps others a lot! Share your ritual with your friends. If you want to support this site financially, I accept coffee donations through BuyMeACoffee (btw, this will also unlock the entire rotaboxes.com archive for you).
So that's it, really. Happy solving.
