The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Text-Based (7 of 8) and Trivia (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Word Game + Puzzle, priced around $2. The breakout hits carry Spelling + Board Game + Point & Click; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. That says more about which games were found than about the market.
How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
