The Cute Love Story That Inspired the Sensational Game ‘Wordle’
When love led to creating a viral game and a million-dollar deal
By now, everyone here and our grandmas would know Wordle.
But if you’ve been living under a mega-rock or purposely avoiding the Wordle grid Tweets, I’ll be happy to explain this super-cool creation.
Wordle is a game where you have to guess a five-letter world every day. You get 24 hours and 6 guesses to find the word. Oh, and it’s the same word for everyone all over the world, so it’s an unspoken agreement among Wordle lovers to not share spoilers.
Each time, you have to type in a valid 5-letter word and the game will tell you if you’re getting hot or cold. The letters in your inputted word light up in green(if the letter is present in the correct position), yellow(the letter is present, but not in that position), and grey(the letter isn’t in the word at all).
You can then make better guesses, eliminate words, and find the right one. In the end, you can share a score-card-like grid that doesn’t show the letters but highlights the colours. This way, you get a cool cryptic-looking result to share without revealing the word to anyone else.
