My wife read an article the other day about a game called "Wordle" that has
become popular because of people staying home during Covid (and winter in Northern states). So,
we tried it, and it becomes almost addictive. It's quick, like solitaire it can be played by yourself, and involves
logic in guessing a word by eliminating letters. If you want to try it click on the link below and scroll
down to read the instructions. I realize it won't appeal to everybody, but if you try it, ENJOY!
Ever Play "Wordle?"
Pretty good brain food tester!

I agree....I hit a frustrating stretch yesterday though. I had FOUR words in a row that I'd never heard of, and
had to look them up to see what they meant. They were: Garni, Bromo, Porgy, and Roods.
What the hell????
. Otherwise, I've been successful most of the time.
BTW, my son told me that we are playing from their "archives." They usually only post one new word per day....
I tried it and it was kind of cool. Thanks!
My wife has been addicted to these types of games for years. I bought her a tablet so she could play them anytime. I can't hardly talk to her when she plays them. The ones she plays mostare more like puzzles that you move letters around with your fingers. I hate these kind of games but I also hate crossword puzzles. I guess it's just the way my brain is wired (or shorted out). I get the morning paper so my wife can play the NYT crossword puzzle. I have learned not to even talk to her while she does this.
I like crosswords, word jumbles, sudoku, etc. Initially I wasn't sure I would like this as you just take a guess on the first word and hope you get lucky, but after that you need to think about what words you'll use.
Just got MODEL in the fifth line.
I got one when I hit "give up" tab.
I just tried it for the first time. I got it in 3.

I'm hooked on this game now. I play the NY Times puzzle every morning. Apparently the NY Times puzzle is the daily official challenge for Wordle enthusiasts.
Wordle 367 4/6
I play it most days. My max streak is 11, best I've done is two solved at two lines. I hate when you get a word where you know what it can be but you run out of guesses, like you have blank, lame and it could be flame, blame etc and it just becomes a guess.
I'm still waiting to score on my first guess.
It does help to have telepathic powers.
Cool game though.
I'm hooked on it, play every day. That and globle. My best steak use 40 on Wordle. 4 is my most popular, never got it in 1
Girl I work with in the pro shop got βWordle in 1β a few weeks ago. Amazing luck.
