Stardew Valley’s 55 fish laid out on the right, while a Wordle-like guess sheet sits on the right.

Whenever my eyes see the phrase “it’s like Stardew Valley, but…” sparks pop off in my brain, imagining futures farming in the zombie apocalypse or courting my favourite pixel caveman. The next one of those instead focuses on the game’s lovely fishing mini-game and is basicallyStardew ValleybutWordle, the other bite-sized juggernaut that’s inspired countless others.

Pufferdle gives you free daily fishing challenges that you can play in-browser atpufferdle.com. Just like the game proper, you hold/release the mouse to raise/drop a small bar in sync with the fish that’s swimming vertically at frantic speeds. What comes next is a Wordle-like puzzle where you need to deduce which fish you’ve just hooked based on the difficulty and several traits (Season, Weather, Location, Time) that narrow down possibilities as you submit close guesses.
