Well, fuck! Wordle got me!
Like a lot of other people, this stupid online word game has become a daily compulsion.
Wordle is a web-based word game developed by Josh Wardle so Josh has a corner of hell reserved for him, I'm sure.
The deal is to solve the mystery of that day's 5 letter word.
Each attempt at solving the word of the day let's you know 1 of three things:
1) which letters are NOT in the word
2) which letters are correct but not where I guessed them to be
3) which letters are correct AND where I guess them to be.
The player gets six attempts to solve the word.
On a really good day, I solve the word in 3 tries.
Mostly, I get it done in 4 or 5.
I will sadly admit to one day when I used up all my tries and failed to get the word of the day.
That was humiliating.
My daughter Randie and I swap our Wordle scores each day.
It should be a fun daily challenge but mostly it's a pain in the ass and I always kick myself that I didn't solve it one less move than I did.
And I am concerned that my daily Wordle score might be a requirement for things.
"Sir, can we see your driver's license and today's Wordle score."
