One of the most popular New York Times word games just got Stardewed! A glorious blend of Stardew Valley and Wordle has now resulted in what is called Pufferdle. The free online game is a combination of the mind-exercising Wordle and the simplistic, charming world of Stardew Valley. This is actually a fan-made Wordle clone that is based on Stardew Valley fish.
Pufferdle was first shared on the Stardew Valley forum by the creator, Sircactupus, and has amassed an abundance of popularity among Stardew Valley fans. In this article, we’ll take a look at what Pufferdle is and how you can play it.
What is Pufferdle?
Pufferdle is an addictive yet challenging Wordle-based Stardew Valley fish game. The rules are simple: Players have to guess the name of a Stardew Valley fish. But the twist is that they first need to catch it. Based on the difficulty of catching the fish, players will have to guess the name.
There are various other factors that players can take into account to catch it. These include the fish's seasons, weather, location, and time. Thinking these aspects will help you narrow down your guesses, which you then have to input in Wordle format.
How to play it?
While we have already mentioned what Pufferdle is and the gameplay process, let’s dive deeper into how to play it.
Players can access the game through the official website. There, you will come across three exciting game modes and each has something unique to offer. These game modes are - Daily, Random, and Fish Tank.
Daily Mode - This is a daily puzzle where you will have to guess the names of handpicked fish every day.
Random Mode - This is the unlimited fishing mode where you can fish all the time. Let your inner fisherman take over and test the water, teeming with opportunities. If you are someone who is left wanting more after the daily mode, this is the right gameplay for you.
Fish Tank - This is the game mode where you can perfect your fishing skills. Train yourself to perfection here until you are able to catch fish like a pro.
After you select a game mode, you will see the Stardew Valley fishes on the left side of the screen. On the right, you will see the Wordle format with Season, Weather, Location, Time, and ‘Correct’ at the top of each column.
Before every guess, you will have to catch a fish. After doing so, you can hover over different fishes, and then click on them. Then, click on submit and the game will let you know if your guess was correct. If not, you can try again until you are able to guess correctly.
This is a fun and interactive way to dive deeper into the fishing world of Stardew Valley. There are different game modes that keep you hooked and a Fish Tank that will help you master your fishing skills. So, go ahead and put your fishing guesses to test and see if you can win.
