If Wordle is a daily jog for your brain, Betweenle is a tightrope walk in alphabetical order—with a compass, a stopwatch, and just enough panic to make it fun.
Lately, I’ve been hooked on this oddly satisfying game that takes the guesswork of Wordle and wraps it in a librarian’s dream: alphabetical logic. It’s called Betweenle, and it’s as addictive as it is brainy.
Here’s the twist: no colored tiles, no “one green, two yellows” routine. Betweenle doesn’t tell you what’s right or wrong letter-by-letter—it tells you where your entire word stands in the alphabet relative to the secret word. Think of it as playing hot and cold, but with dictionaries.

How Betweenle Works
Betweenle challenges you to guess a five-letter word, but instead of using colors to tell you how close you are, it gives you directional clues.
After each guess, you’ll see if the secret word comes alphabetically before or after your entry—an upward arrow means the word comes after, a downward arrow means it comes before.
If you’re getting close, an orange dot appears, signaling that you’re hot on the trail.
You’ll also see a number showing how many valid five-letter words are alphabetically between your guess and the target.
Think of it as navigating a very organized word library—it’s not just about having a strong vocabulary, but also about having a sharp sense of alphabetical order.
Final Thoughts
Betweenle might not hold your hand like other games do—but that’s exactly why I love it. It’s clean. It’s clever. And every guess feels like flipping to just the right page in your mental thesaurus.
Whether you’re sharpening your alphabetical instincts or just showing off your inner spelling bee champion, Betweenle’s the kind of puzzle that lingers—in the best way.
See you on the word ladder tomorrow.
