<p>Psst&#8230; since it&#8217;s Friday and we&#8217;re heading into the weekend, if you have some downtime, consider playing one of the games hubby and I have created! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.1.0/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Here&#8217;s a breakdown of what we have:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://tryhardguides.com/adoptle"><strong>Adoptle</strong></a> (guess the name of an adoptable pet in six guesses)</li>
<li><a href="https://tryhardguides.com/concludle"><strong>Concludle</strong></a> (figure out the subject within six clues)</li>
<li><a href="https://tryhardguides.com/mislettered"><strong>Mislettered</strong></a> (guess one letter at a time to figure out the phrase/quote)</li>
<li><a href="https://tryhardguides.com/word-frenzy"><strong>Word Frenzy</strong></a> (find as many words from the letters available before the shark devours them)</li>
</ul>
