So I came across Wordle shortly after my birthday and thought… hey a word game! I found out about it when people I follow on Twitter started sharing their daily Wordle results and decided to investigate… and now I’m hooked. What I didn’t expect is how people on Twitter who don’t know what Wordle is have chosen to hate it simply based on people posting their results (which look like the image above, if you’re lucky, and without the WTF). What’s with that? If seeing a post with a few coloured squares in it sets someone off they can simply mute the word “wordle” and they’ll never see another one. But it seems they prefer to complain. Not me though! I’m having fun with it. It’s on a free app and a new puzzle comes up every 24 hours. Have you tried it?

I’m hooked too! I love word puzzles but it’s really hard to find anything that isn’t really dumbed down.
I struggled with today’s, I must admit. My opening guess was rubbish, all wrong letters, but I got it on the 6th, phew 😀 As I was at work too, I could only look at it while the kettle was boiling so I found every time I walked anywhere I was pondering what my next guess should be.
What’s with people moaning, how stupid. Like a person can only post something everybody wants to see? Just scroll on by for goodness sake!

I’ve only not got one so far… glad it happened though because now I don’t have to worry about getting the first one wrong.
Yeah, I don’t get people complaining about what is in their Twitter TL… they chose to look at it! And as you say, if someone happens to post something you don’t like just keep scrolling.

I have, I’m afraid, a visceral dislike of word games — things like crosswords and Scrabble and Sudoku. I imagine it comes from having this kind of thing shoved at me when I was young because “you’re so good at spelling and English you will love this,” and I didn’t, and I thought it was a stupid thing to spend time on when I could actually be reading or writing, plus I suspected I was just being steered toward busywork. (I have the same feeling about any and all card games.) But fuck, whatever gets you through at the place we’re in. I’d be the last to bash anyone for getting fun out of something so eminently harmless and I’m glad people are enjoying playing with it on Twitter. It makes more sense than Candy Crush.
