I used to begin my day with a quick scroll through social media, but eventually realized it's not a great idea to become filled with rage and despair before I even get out of bed in the morning. So, now I play daily puzzles instead to jump-start my brain, which means I don't become filled with rage and despair until around lunchtime. Nice!
For a long time, the New York Times' Wordle and Spelling Bee were my go-tos daily word puzzles, but recently I started looking around for something different (but not too different). There are plenty of daily puzzles scattered here and there around the web, and a lot of games like Wordle to play, but I noticed this week that trusty ol' dictionary site Merriam-Webster has put together a nice little collection of free daily puzzle games you can play on your phone or in a browser at your desktop.
