It's not a boast to say that Minecraftle is one of the most successful open-word games of all time. Despite having the simple pixelated graphics which are not as superior as the present video games, it still is a billion-dollar franchise thanks to the creativity it can bring players.
Going on the same route to success like Minecraft is a word-guessing game called Strands NYT. This title also focuses on gameplay and the exciting experience of players, but not the graphics. Here, we have a combination of these two games under the name, Minecraftle.
This version is a cross between the theme of the Minecraft game and the guessing puzzle gameplay of the Wordle game. In this variant, players will guess the puzzle related to the Minecraft world with the hints also extracted from the rules of the open-world game.
Players will have to rely on the crafting rules of the Minecraft world to figure out the hidden object crafted from the given ingredients.
The Minecraftle game shows up with a 3x3 grid and a board of crafting ingredients below. Your mission is to mix the ingredients in the 3x3 grid to result in a new item in the small square box on the right side of the grid.
You can put the ingredients in the grid by clicking or tapping on them and then tapping or clicking on a blank space in the grid. If the combination is valid, a new item will appear. If the item is not the solution of the game, click or tap it to move forward to another guess.
Sometimes, you need to fill the whole grid with given ingredients to form another item, but in some cases, only three items are enough to lead to another. It's up to the crafting formula of the Minecraft game.
You have ten tries to figure out the hidden item of the game. The Minecraftle game will end after you use up all the allowed guesses or win the game.
The Minecraftle game borrows the idea of giving out hints from the Wordle game. After you get the result item from mixing other ingredients, you will receive the hints from the game:
