The best daily color games like Wordle right now are Color Guesser, Hexcodle, Hexle, Colorfle, Chroma, Hued, KolorMatch, Dialed and Colordle. Each one gives everyone the same color puzzle once a day, but they test different things: reading hex codes, mixing paint, matching by eye, or recalling a color from memory.
Wordle made the one-puzzle-a-day habit normal. Color games run on the same ritual, only you're decoding colors instead of words. We checked every game on this list in October 2026 to make sure it's still live, and the notes below describe what each one does today.

What to Look for in a Daily Color Game
A good daily color game has a clear reset (one puzzle per day, the same for everyone), results you can share, scoring that feels fair, and a clean design. The games below split into three rough camps. Hex games (Hexcodle, Hexle) are about reading codes. Mixing games (Colorfle, Chroma) are about proportions. Matching and memory games (Color Guesser, Hued, KolorMatch, Dialed) are about your eye. Pick the camp that fits how you think about color.
Color Guesser
Format: You see a color name, like "Persian Green", and build that color on a hue, saturation and brightness picker. Five rounds daily, the same set for everyone, resetting at midnight UTC. Scoring: ΔE94, a perceptual color difference formula, turned into a score out of 100 per round. Standout: multiplayer. You can start a private league and compare daily scores with friends on a shared table, or open a color battle, share a code, and play identical rounds against someone at the same time.
The names come from the Color.pizza API, and because scoring is perceptual, a guess that looks close scores close, even if the RGB numbers are a long way off. If you want the details, our ΔE94 explainer covers how it works. There's also a color memory mode and Odd Shade, where you spot the one tile that's slightly off. Free, no signup needed to play.
Hexcodle
Format: Type a 6-digit hex code to match the day's color. Five tries. Feedback: arrows on each digit point toward the target value, higher or lower, and the color you typed appears next to the target so you can compare. Standout: it's the hex game most roundups point to, and it now has a smaller sibling, Hexcodle Mini, plus an archive of past puzzles. Hexcodle (hexcodle.com) is the one to start with if you think in hex. One thing to watch for: the paid iPhone app called Hexcodle is a separate app from a different developer, with different rules. We compare it head to head in Color Guesser vs Hexcodle.
Hexle
Format: Guess the day's hexadecimal color code in six tries. Standout: one more guess than Hexcodle, which makes it a gentler way into hex guessing. Hexle (hexle.codes) is free and built by an independent developer. Good for developers who want to sharpen their hex intuition.
Colorfle
Format: The day's color is three colors mixed together: 50% of the first, 30% of the second, 20% of the third. You pick three colors and an order, and see the resulting mix and how accurate it is. Six tries. Feedback: Wordle style. Green means right color in the right spot, yellow means right color in the wrong spot. Standout: it's the closest to Wordle's actual logic, since order matters. Colorfle (colorfle.com) is free and ad supported. If you want more like it, see our Colorfle alternatives.
Chroma
Format: You get a target color and three component shades, and adjust how much of each goes into the mix in 5% steps until the weights add to 100. Six guesses. Feedback: each guess shows a percentage for how close your mix landed. 95% or better solves it. Standout: it's a proportions puzzle more than a color-naming one. Chroma is part of Greatest Games (greatest.games), resets at midnight US Eastern, and is free with ads. A paid plan removes ads and unlocks the full archive.
Hued
Format: Match today's color by adjusting hue and saturation on a color wheel. Three guesses, and your final guess is your score. Feedback: an accuracy percentage plus nudges like "shift the hue warmer". Standout: the colors are picked by an editor rather than generated, and there's a friends leaderboard and a "challenge a friend" link. Hued (playhued.com) needs a free account to save streaks and add friends.
KolorMatch
Format: The daily color shows for 5 seconds, then hides, and you recreate it with RGB sliders. Modes: Daily, Hardcore (one attempt, no time bonus), Attack (60 seconds, a new color after each submission), Zen (target stays visible, no timer) and Impossible (type exact RGB values). Standout: a daily streak that only survives if you hit 80% accuracy, and a colorblind mode. KolorMatch (kolormatch.io) has no live multiplayer, but you can send a link that challenges a friend to beat your score. Best for variety.
Dialed
Format: A color shows for a moment, then you rebuild it from memory on hue, saturation and brightness sliders. Five rounds, each worth up to 10 points. Standout: a daily challenge plus head to head battles, and the color game sits alongside other memory games for sound, time, shape, pattern and tempo. Dialed (dialed.gg) is free with ads, with an optional ad-free plan. If you like it, our own color memory game works the same way.
Colordle
Format: Guess the day's hidden color by typing a color name or a hex code. Closeness is judged by perceptual distance in CIELAB, not exact equality. Feedback: once you've made enough guesses, hints unlock that tell you to go lighter or darker, redder or greener, yellower or bluer. Standout: several color lists, each with its own daily target and leaderboard, and a 3D view that drops you into color space at any of your guesses. Colordle (colordle.org) is free. Best for people who know a lot of color names.
Which One Should You Play?
If you write CSS all day, start with Hexcodle or Hexle. If you liked Wordle's green and yellow tiles, Colorfle is the closest match. If you want to train your eye rather than your number sense, try Color Guesser, Hued or KolorMatch. If you want to play against people you know, Color Guesser's leagues and battles and Dialed's battles are the strongest options here. For ways to get better at all of them, see how to improve your color perception.
What Changed in This Update
Earlier versions of this list included Palettle, ColorGuess.io, GuessTheColor and Shadle. When we checked in October 2026, ColorGuess.io's domain no longer loaded, and we couldn't confirm that Palettle or Shadle are still running. GuessTheColor is still online, but it's an endless RGB quiz rather than a daily puzzle. We added Hexcodle, Colorfle, Chroma, Hued, Dialed and Colordle.
