I am hooked on this.

I really liked today's word.
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.

Themken: I followed that link and the first word I tried was not even recognised as a proper word; I guess the Americans do not use it. I managed to guess the word in three tries, which I think was very lucky. Quite a nice little game. I wish there would be a British English version too. Maybe someone knows of one.

Mortius1: You can blame the New York Times for it. The original game included British spelling variations, and a bunch of other words the paper found objectionable.

Removed to prevent constipated people from getting offended?

Hard to do when nobody else shuts up about it.

Removed, because it may offend those that insist that the correct spelling is 'Fiber'...
