Word Games on Paper

Ellen and I play Wordle and Quordle every day on our iPhones. It keeps our brains limber (I guess). But I would like to play them offline as well. When you play online, you are playing against an invisible entity (a person, or a computer? Who knows?). When you play on paper, offline, you know who you are playing against. It took a little effort to come up with paper versions, but you will find them below. You should be able to download them and print them out. Along with them are a set of rules. For anyone familiar with these games online, the rules will be very familiar, but there are a couple of things that are different in the paper version. The big difference is that in the paper version, you (or your playing partner) have to think up the original five-letter word or words that the other player then has to guess through the process of playing the game. Coming up with those original words is an interesting challenge, and I think also an added element of fun. The other advantage is that more than one person can play at the same time in the paper version, so it could be a party game, and that would add an element of fun as well. So - here they are:
