Wordle has spawned a lot of knock-offs, but one worth trying is Dordle.

I assume the name comes from "Double Wordle," since you have to solve two words simultaneously, inputting the same attempt for both.

I don't struggle with rhyming at all. In fact, I get hyper fixated on rhyming and consonance schemes and have an very hard time breaking out of that mode. :?

I've been messing around with different starting words just for fun. I think as long as you can cover all the vowels and the common consonants in your first two guesses, you're in pretty good shape.
