“Just a single word to guess tis hard!

They make your mind twist and run!

These mind games, they be too much fun!

What is the link between Bulls, mind and wordle!?

It is all in the mind you see!

read on!

The daily routine now is to solve the Wordle! The best thing about the game is that you just need basic vocabulary!

It is a treat for the whole family and sometimes knowing less is good! Many times my kids get the words first since it is usually a simple word! The way the game shows that the letter is correct but wrong place or correct and right position or completely incorrect is a tease!

But the way it stimulates your thinking cap is really good!

The combination of letters and the thrill of getting it in the first or second attempt is really great but the actual thrill in getting the word in the last attempt! 

By default it is always better to put the words with the maximum vowels first and I usually put ADIEU as the first word! Only rarely do you not solve the wordle but if you are had pressed for time, simple words seem complicated!

The biggest issue is when there is a repeat of the word!

This game is actually similar to the game of hangman which we used to play a lot till the Wordle craze took over! 

A similar game in which you have to guess the pattern is done with colours instead of alphabets! This is also having the same premise like; you either have a wrong position right colour or right position and colour or wrong position and colour!

Yes! The game is one of the most popular Board games now but at the time of its invention it had no takers at first!

This game is based on an older, paper based game called Bulls and Cows!

A computer adaptation of it was run in the 1960s on Cambridge University’s Titan computer system, where it was called ‘MOO’ as an ode to the cow and bull!

The modern game with pegs was invented in 1970 by Mordecai Meirowitz, a postmaster and telecommunications expert. 

Meirowitz presented the idea to many major toy companies but, after showing it at the Nuremberg International Toy Fair, it was picked up by a plastics company, Invicta Plastics! Very soon it has become one of the most popular board game!

So much so that many researchers have written papers to guess the code in less than 5 or 6 steps! Even now there are many versions of the game and it really does stimulate your mind which you must try to master!

And yes the name of the game you must have guessed by now! Mastermind!

A master of words and an intelligent mind also was Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee!

Now try to master your sleep!

SHubh ratri!
