Anyone here playing Wordle? Seems to be mention a lot lately.
 
I play it pretty much daily, unless I forget, but it's pretty fun. It's a good way to use my brain at least once a day lol.

Basically you have six guesses to guess a five letter word. You have no hints or anything at the start. So lets say you guess the word is

TODAY

If any of your letters are wrong, they're grayed out. If you've gotten a letter, but it's in the wrong spot, it'll turn yellow, and if you have a letter that's in the correct place it turns green. So for the sake of theory, let's say the only letter you have right is D, but it's in the wrong place. So next you'd try something like

DREAM

Then D is now in the correct location, so it turns green meaning you don't have to mess with D anymore and you got R in the correct place as well. So now you want to find a 5 letter word that starts with DR. It's hard to explain without visualization, but it's the best way I can explain it.

Wordle - A daily word game

Guess the hidden word in 6 tries. A new puzzle is available each day.

Best way to explain it is to play it for yourself, I guess.

Also my hypothetical word was DRINK, for anyone actually curious.

Sounds like fancy hangman, but without anyone getting hanged :p

Yeah I can see myself getting addicted to that.

That's actually a much simpler description than I gave, yeah. It's just a fun once a day brain teaser.
 
Played it a tiny bit but I'm not a huge fan of it. But that might be because I'm not very good at it.
 
Everyone seems to be playing it. I see folks post about it on FB daily. I have a very addictive personality so I'm staying away because I would definitely get sucked in.
 
Nope. Sounds like Wheel of Fortune/Hangman with some added steps. Also owned by the NYT which is how it has been shown in the news recently.

That must be new because I thought it was just some person or maybe a small group of people.
 
I have a friend who fears that they are going to try a monetize the app more which will probably take away from the fun.
 
I just avoid simple games like these altogether because they don't interest me. Just like game shows or one-button games.
 
I have a lot of friends on Facebook who plays this game (they share their scores every now and then), however, I have never checked the game. I used to like word games in the past but not anymore. I am more into battle royal and sandbox.
 
Once I solve a wordle , a personal statistics page comes up. I don't know how to publish with just solid squares showing. Advice needed.
