Has anyone else gotten hooked on wordle? I love that there is only one a day, so you can't find yourself doing this for too long. I really look forward to the new one each morning. Sorry if I enable anyone

I held out for a long time but just started three days ago and am hooked. Love it.

BTW, if you google wordle unlimited or something like that you can play as many times as you want.

I’d never heard of it before this week. I’ve played each day (and a few times on the unlimited site) over the past few days. I like it but get frustrated when I get stumped, lol. I’m the only good speller and “word person” in my house — no one else here is remotely interested.

I'm going to pretend I didn't see that! Like a good multi-vitamin or a set of pushups, wordle is good once a day!

What is it?

It's a website-based word game (although there are apparently spin-offs of which I am unaware). You try to guess a 5-letter word in 6 tries. For each of your guesses, you can see if any of the letters in your guess word are in the answer word. Incorrect letters show up in grey, correct letters show up in yellow and correct letters in the correct location show up in green. Letters that are incorrect will be greyed out in the QWERTY keyboard displayed below the grid. The publisher claims that he will not use obscure words. If you like word games, you need to try it

Yes, it's addicting! I used to play this game with my brother when I was little. One of us would pick the work for the other one to guess.

My MIL got DH & I started Friday.
It reminds me of Mastermind - we have the original and like to play.

It sounds like the game show Lingo. Chuck Woolery was the host.
