Mr.Mumbles: I can't wait for this to die already. "Wordle this! Wordle that!" Ugh! It's not like it's a new idea or anything. Just the new trendy five-minute flash in a pan that's going to be replaced soon enough by something equally overblown.
B-b-b-but nobody is forcing you to partake?
Simply never go to the "wordle" page, and you'll most probably will never ever even notice that this game exists.
I think I heard of it through Stephen Colbert?
And only AFTER I stumbled over this thread, I looked it up myself - and am hooked since, and have introduced my mom to it (well, two German versions of it) - and she loves it, too.
You don't? Well, simply stay away then.
Non-problem solved.
