This was named after his own name and was just a time pass!
Then it became a world wide sensation!
You can play it on your phone or your computer and the best thing is that all you need is a basic knowledge of English!
It is also dependent on luck! In fact if you know too much then it is an issue since you will have too many options to choose when you have only 6!
If lucky you may finish it in less than a minute but on some days you may take more than 5! Most days you may get the word but some days you may not be lucky!
In fact getting it in the first or second attempt is rarest of the rare occasion unless you cheat!
The game was free for some time and now it has been taken over by a media chain though it still remains free! Just like you!
Without further ado, the game is WORDLE!
Josh Wardle, a software engineer in Brooklyn, knew his partner loved word games, so he created a guessing game for just the two of them. As a play on his last name, he named it Wordle! He introduced this game to his family WhatsApp group and when it was a hit he released it online!
On Nov. 1, 90 people played and Just two months later, more than 300,000! Of course now it’s a worldwide phenomenon!
Wordle wizards should understand though that being good at this game doesn’t necessarily mean you’re smart! It demands both a decent vocabulary and a smattering of strategy.
The former is an indicator of crystallized intelligence, the latter of fluid intelligence! Also sometimes overthinking makes it hard so much so that kids get some words faster than many adults since they don’t analyze too much! Insertion of the first word also depends on your luck!
The best way to play is to get all or most of the vowels in and then hope for the best! You may remember the game Hangman and this is a variation of that but with more fun!
Now since it has become a worldwide phenomenon; the analysis is too much! Previously it was suggested that words like Adieu or Audio is the best strategy since you have included many vowels but now the most preferred first word is changed!
There have in fact been teams and sites dedicated to analyze and recommend the best first word!
The best starting word for Wordle is CRANE, according to Word Raiders analysis, as it considers all possible solutions. Tom’s Guide recommends STARE, as it incorporates common letters and maximizes information gathering!
Some also suggest using words like ROATE, RAISE, and SAUCY. Ultimately, the optimal starting word depends on your strategy and whether you prioritize ruling out letters or finding actual letters in the answer!
One of the most complicated situation in Wordle is when you have repeat of letters! That is the tricky part!
Word games like Wordle are fun! Then again you will think what is the point!
Well; Playing Wordle offers several benefits, including stress relief, social connection, and cognitive advantages like enhanced vocabulary, improved problem-solving skills, and increased mental agility!
The daily challenge also provides a sense of accomplishment and can be incorporated into a routine, boosting overall well-being! You can see how nice you may feel when you get the word! A sense of achievement however small may go a long way to pep you up!
A long way also could be the trajectory of Harrison Ford! Can’t believe he is over 80 years old now and still going strong!
Now finish your worldle soon and sleep!
Shubh ratri!
