Wordle 180 3/6
Yes, that is my tweet. Yes, I have become a Wordle guy.
This game is so good.It’s very compelling. If you get it easily, maybe in the second or third try, there’s a showoff element whereby you must show your followers how smart you are and share.Started to sweat a bit on this one!

This is crucial, as it makes it easier to ping your buddy and chat about the day’s puzzle. “Today’s was tough!” “How did you get on?” “Did you get it?”
Yeah it’s just a word game, but there are a few tiny little details that have resulted in everyone going absolutely bonkers for it.

So it’s just a word game? Big deal…
OMG IT HAPPENED
There’s only one puzzle per day.
In a Reddit post, Wardle said he wanted Wordle to feel like a croissant, a “delightful snack” that is enjoyed occasionally. This is explicitly why there’s only one puzzle per day. “Enjoyed too often,” he explained, “and they lose their charm.”
Everyone is playing the exact same puzzle!
So what the hell is Wordle? Good question.
Added a share button to Wordle that generates a spoiler-free emoji grid for you. Shoutout to @irihapeta for inventing such a cool way to share your results each day.
It’s easy to share your results!
Agreed.
Remember place? That was a wild time.

I could try to explain the rules, but the site itself does a fantastic job of explaining the rules.
It ultimately ended up looking like this:

Essentially a word game, Wordle gives players six chances to guess a random five letter word. As shown above, if you have the right letter in the right spot, it shows up green. A correct letter in the wrong spot shows up yellow. A letter that isn’t in the word in any spot shows up grey.Try it out: https://t.co/pZTmeT1p7ETry it out: https://t.co/pZTmeT1p7ENote that the word and letters you chose are obscured. All that’s shown is your journey toward the word in a series of yellow, green and grey boxes.Wordle 183 4/6

Place was a shared online space that allowed literally anyone to fight over what was drawn there. It resulted in huge, sprawling communities battling over space on this gigantic online canvas.
If you get it by the skin of your teeth in the sixth go, that’s also a cool story. But most importantly, the puzzle itself isn’t spoiled.
