What is Setlist?
Setlist is a daily singleplayer word puzzle from Really Bad Studio, free on itch.io and played in a browser with no account. Each day brings five clues whose answers form a chain. Progress is saved in the browser you use, and the listing notes AI assistance with code and text.
How a run plays
You read five clues and work out the words. The twist is the link between them: the last letter of one answer sets the first letter of the next, so solving one entry narrows down its neighbors. When all five are filled, you ink the list to check it. Optional hints help when you are stuck, and a streak counter tracks consecutive days.
How it stacks up against rivals
The natural rivals are Wordle and the NYT Connections puzzle. This game wins on its chained structure, which makes the five answers feel like one puzzle instead of five, and on hints that keep a streak alive on a bad day. Spoiler-free sharing matches what fans of those daily games expect. It loses on reach and polish: the big daily games have huge communities and archives, while this is a small itch.io release with one puzzle per day and no back catalog mentioned.
Rivals in more detail
It is worth comparing the daily rhythm with other puzzle habits. Wordle gives you six guesses at one word, Connections asks you to sort sixteen words into four groups, and the Spelling Bee rewards long lists. This game sits between them: five short answers, but each depends on the one before, so you can work forwards or backwards from whichever clue you crack first. That makes stuck moments easier to escape than in Wordle, where a bad guess simply wastes a turn. On the other hand, the bigger daily games have years of archives, active forums, and polished apps, while this is a single browser page on itch.io. If you enjoy chaining logic and short sessions, it slots neatly into a morning routine alongside the games you already play.
The verdict
Scorecard against daily word games: puzzle idea 5/5, since chained answers turn five clues into one problem; forgiveness 4/5, with optional hints; community 1/5, as it is a small itch.io release; habit features 4/5, with streaks and spoiler-free sharing. The verdict: a smart second daily puzzle for word fans, best paired with whatever you already play each morning rather than replacing it.
Who will enjoy it
It fits word-game fans who already do a daily puzzle and want a second one that takes a few minutes. It is not for players looking for action or long sessions. The listing marks it Released.
Before you click Play
One puzzle arrives each day, so there is no binge mode. Use hints sparingly if you care about a clean streak. Progress lives in your browser, so clearing site data or switching devices resets it. No account or purchase is needed.
