I suspect I may have blogged about this previously as the word game in the New York Times - Wordle - has been very much part of my daily routine for a number of years now.
It started as a means of keeping my Father entertained (and for all of us to stay in touch) during the pandemic and currently has both my Brothers in law, my mother in law, Em and my cousins’s wife (as well as on an occasional basis V) circulating their daily scores on our WhatsApp group.
For those unfamiliar with it, the game consists of a 6 by 5 grid of boxes and the idea is to guess the daily word within 6 goes. Each go you are told whether you have a correct letter in the correct place (green) or in the wrong place (yellow).
I managed to get a run of 60 correct daily guesses it grew complacent and missed out a couple of weeks ago so have had to start from scratch.
When the New York Times bought the game from its English inventor the main concern was American spellings. This has by and large not been a problem. However, given how long it has been going, a bigger issue may be hat they will run out of 5 letter words!
