I guess this is the new craze that is melting the internet.

I've never been good at word-scramble games. I remember trying to do them in our local paper when I was a kid.

So, I looked at it today.

Should be simple, right? 5 letters, and guess the word.

This is why I'll not play.

What the actual FUCK is this word???

@george-k

You doin' it wrong. That wasn't today's word.

Get the Wordus app. It's the same game but you can do as many as you want per day.

There's also all the Wordle archives here...

Yeah, all those archives, etc are fun, if you want to play the game.

But "RAMIE?"

That's a solution?

I'm not the brightest bulb on the planetary Christmas tree, but FFS, who has "ramie" in their vocabulary?

It’s a type of thread or yarn.

Another testament to my misspent youth.

Nah. never heard it until I was 40 or so.

I heard the NY Times bought out the original site for like $2 million. Which is a shame, since I'm sure eventually it'll get monetized somehow.

Anyway... my wife told me about the Wordle site about 3 weeks ago and I enjoy doing it each morning at 7am. Pretty good stats so far... Just 2 days ago I guessed 4 letters perfectly on the first try and somehow didn't get it until the 4th try. That was disappointing.

WRONG
WRING
WRANG
WRUNG <- Correct
