Wordle
I have a new first thing to do every time I open my eyes.
Wordle.
And it’s a good little game.
For the uninitiated, you try and figure out a 5-letter word with 6 guesses.
I always start with ‘Lucid’ and hope that I get a couple of letters and hopefully one in the right place.
Someday I hope they choose ‘Lucid’ and I get it on the first guess.
I’ve only missed twice.
Once was on day one when I didn’t know what I was doing and then I blew a 20 day win streak. I don’t even remember the word.
The guy who came up with the game has sold it to the New York Times.
Good for him.
Probably not so good for us.
I can’t even read a New York Times article without paying for it.
I doubt they’ll allow everyone to have Wordle for free for long. It’ll probably cost us $30 a day to take a guess at a word.
Here’s the other thing that’s weird:
I usually hate puzzles and there have been moments when I’ve felt uncomfortable being patient as I took my guesses, but it’s only once a day.
Five minutes of fun.
For free.
At least for now.
Hopefully the word is ‘Lucid’ today.
