If you enjoy Wordle-style puzzles, Lordle brings that same daily ritual to Scripture. Each day you're given a Bible verse with key details hidden, and your job is to guess where it comes from — narrowing down by testament, book, and chapter based on the Bible's structure.^1
Created by Sang Tian, CTO of Basil Tech, Lordle grew out of the same passion for making the Bible accessible that led to BibleDojo, an interactive Bible fluency platform. Basil Tech is a Christian nonprofit made up of engineers from companies like Dropbox, Apple, and Duolingo who want to use their skills in tech for Jesus — named after Bezalel, the Spirit-filled craftsman of the Tabernacle.^2
What makes Lordle special is how it trains your sense of biblical geography without feeling like homework. Over 950 daily puzzles and counting, players develop an intuitive feel for where different passages sit in Scripture. It's the kind of game that makes you say, "I didn't know that verse was in that book."^1
Why Christians Love It"I just came across Lordle, a Bible-verse themed game playing off of Wordle, except that it cleverly leads you to learn something every time."^3
"Any Wordle game fans? This is a fun Bible verse variation on the theme." — shared in the Diocese of Lichfield church community^4
Lordle has been recommended as a mindful alternative to mindless phone gaming during seasons like Lent, alongside apps like Versle and Bible Memory.^5
