0Wordle is the kind of square grid game you see on social media. If you’ve been on Twitter recently, you may have noticed people posting a bunch of differently colored squares. No, this is not a psy-op you are being unfairly excluded from, rather it’s the Twitter manifestation of Wordle, a daily word-guessing game that is currently picking up steam in the world of Online. The premise is tremendously simple, you have six attempts to guess a word—and each attempt will tell you what you got right and what you got wrong. Correct letters with the right placement turn green, correct letters with incorrect placements turn yellow, and total misses remain the game’s basic grey. If you successfully guess the word, you can brag about it on Twitter—where you probably heard about it in the first place. Wordle is doing two things very correctly. While I’m a bit skeptical of the game’s longevity, especially in the notoriously quick public consciousness of video games Twitter, it’ll be fun to watch your friends fail to guess words while it lasts.
