Dumb Charades (DS) and wordle are both popular games.
Both are guessing games. In DS you have to guess the name of something (a movie typically) and in wordle, a 5 letter word. The former is limited by time (so many minutes allowed to come up with the right answer) and latter by number of attempts (6).
The solution is DS can consist of multiple words (as in the name of a movie "Maid in Manhattan")) while the solution in wordle is always a single 5 letter word.
In both games the other party (another team) responds to your guesses in terms of how close or far you are from the answer. The response in DS is a little subjective while in wordle the response is more structured in terms of yellows and greens. DS also has a GREEN, YELLOW, GREY kinda response system.
Though wordle is typically a solo game it can very well be a two player game, though with only one people on each team. DS usually has more than 1 player on each side.
In both games the player converges to a solution, from having no clue about it initially to making large jumps towards the solution with each guess.
In both games the ingenuity of the guesses is a major factor.
Both games are intellectual (despite wordle needing a paper and a pencil or a web page) unlike video games.
Both are quite addictive!
