Have you played Wordle? It is found here: https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/ I'm not a gamer so maybe that is why I didn't know anything about Wordle until last week; I may have just ignored any reference to it. Once I heard about it I became hooked, along with millions of others it seems. I am not a person who enjoys playing games on the computer or phone, but I am enjoying the challenge of Wordle. Part of its appeal is that it is short, challenging, and there is only 1 puzzle per day. The goal is to figure out one five-letter word each day. Sound easy? It isn't. I'm getting better, I think, but I'm not finding it easy.
Below is what my screen looked like on yesterday's puzzle when I completed it. Each day you begin with a 5 x 6 grid of empty squares. You then enter words trying to guess the 5-letter word for the day. With each try, squares turn green if you have the correct letter in the correct place. Squares turn yellow if you have a correct letter but it isn't in the correct place in the word. Squares turn gray if the letters you entered are not found in the word. You only get 6 tries to enter the correct word; if not successful, you are done and must come back the next day for a new puzzle. There is not a time limit and you are only in competition with yourself.
Some cautions:
- Wordle is only available on the web at this address: https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/ Unfortunately in the Google Play store and the Apple Apps store there are fake Wordle apps; DO NOT download any of these. Wordle can only be played using a web browser.
- There is an option to share your success on social media. As tempted as you might be to do this, I would encourage you to refrain from doing so.
