I do the NY Times Mini crossword (.5-2 min) and Connections (2-3 min). I sometimes do one of the puzzles featured on cracking the cryptic (up to ~90 min). I tried plusword a few times, but I just didn't get the clues most times. I used to do the set daily puzzle, but I got out of the habit. Wordle and similar never really caught on with me.

Not exactly daily per se the way, say, Wordle or the NY Times Mini crossword is, but I'm a huge fan of Nonograms. They kindof scratch the same itch and are a lot of fun. (For me at least.)

I'm familiar with the puzzle type, I'll have to check out that site. It looks like a good collection. Someone came up with a variant called cross the streams where the shaded area has to be contiguous. The ambiguous clues cause some interesting logic.

I do Semantle. It's sort of like a hot or cold kind of game where there is a word of the day and you guess words and they are scored as to how close they are semantically. You have an unlimited number of guesses and also a seemingly unlimited number of hints. Even with the hints it sometimes takes me 60 guesses, but sometimes it's 5 or 6. There is a link to the paper where they discuss the relativity model they use. I find it challenging.

Its an interesting game, but I don't think I'm enough of a word person to enjoy it. I might give it another shot.

Well they don't usually. I also think it can be considered a pest in certain areas. And tusks are sort of horns.

Where in the USA Is This?
My closes distance was like 400 ft away in Alaska even though I'd never been to Alaska.

Interesting game, a bit like geoguesser, but if you can estimate distances well, you'll get it on the 4th guess through triangulation.
