Facebook users may see many of their friends post Wordle results on their newsfeed. Wordle is the new word game that’s taking the internet by storm, where you have to guess a new five-letter word six times a day or less. Each letter is represented by a block, and after each guess attempt, the color of the block changes to any of three possible hues to remind players how close they are to guessing the word. Green means the letter is in the correct position, yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong position and must be repositioned, and gray means it is not in the word at all. This is an addictive word game that challenges one’s vocabulary and reasoning skills.
Players who successfully guess the word within six attempts earn bragging rights and then typically share their results for the day on social media. These results appear in unlabeled graphics in the Wordle block grid, with only the color on the boxes indicating their letter guesses. Since there is only one possible five-letter word for each day, the word “guess” does not appear in the graph so as not to give away the final answer.
These Wordle game results have appeared on various social media platforms such as Facebook, and some users may even think that the game can be played on Facebook. Additionally, there are now many copycat apps on the iOS App Store and Google Play hoping to ride on Wordle’s success. Someone who’s late to the party may have downloaded one of these fake apps thinking it’s the one their friends are playing and talking about. In fact, there’s only one place to play official games online, and it’s not Facebook.
Where to Play the Official Words Game
Wordle is actually Josh Waddellis a New York engineer who apparently coined the name of this viral daily word guessing game after his own surname. The official version of Wordle is hosted for free on Wardle’s own website. Despite Wordle’s meteoric rise in popularity, its creators say they have no plans to turn the game into an ad-ridden money-making venture. In other words, the plan is to keep the free-to-play model that people know and love.
In addition to the easy-to-follow game rules and the ability to play without registering an account or paying extra fees, users who integrate Wordle into their daily lives enjoy the feeling of being one of millions. People who conquer it every day. Of course, there are advantages to posting their Wordle diagrams on social media for all their friends to see. Acquaintances can compare each other’s progress – the smaller the graph, the higher that person’s position on the imaginary Wordle leaderboard. Users also sometimes tend to share a short essay below the Wordle graphic, indicating the complexity of the word and how much effort they put into getting the answer right. People who see these comments can try to collect clues and choose a good word to start with.
At the end of the day, Wordle is indeed a great game and its ability to exercise the brain makes it a great addition to the user’s daily activities. When players share content on sites like Facebook or Twitter, Wordle can quickly and easily build camaraderie among players, making it worth keeping in an open tab on one’s web browser.
