Wordle is addictive

Audrey オードリー

You might have heard of the online word game Wordle, or you might have tried it yourself.

I decided to give it a try a few days ago, when I read an article about how it has spread its popularity over the world in just a few months.

At first, I didn't know what the fuss was all about.  I wasn't careful, and just guessed widely.  I didn't know there are tactics.  After watching a YouTube video about the tactics, I got better.

I can understand why people fell in love with it. It is exciting and challenging.  It has become something I look forward to every morning.

Sometimes life has become a mundanity that everyday feels the same - wake up, make breakfast, housework, work, nothing to do, checking emails, read, cooking, more housework..   It is good to have something exciting to look forward to every day when I wake up.

Unlike other online games, you can only play it once a day which takes a few minutes, so even if you get addicted to it, it is not harmful and not time consuming.

I think the chance of guessing the right answer at the first try is very slim.  I got it on the second try, and was so excited I screamed out aloud!  So pleased with myself ^_^

If you haven't tried it, I strongly suggest you give it a try. It is a good way to learn vocabulary.

    I'm addicted to this amazing word game. I can't help but work on it soon after it's updated at midnight. It seems to be difficult even for English native speakers to get the right answer on the first or second try. Bravo!
