In the last few weeks, it seems everyone is playing Wordle. Each morning, a UK website posts a new game and you get six attempts to guess the five letter word. If you guess the right letter in the right square, the square turns green. If you get the right letter in the wrong square, the square turns a mustard yellow. If you get it all done in four tries the program says “splendid!” If it takes you six tries, it says “phew”. It’s a nice distraction in what we all desperately hope are the waning days of the pandemic. It’s also not particularly difficult, provided the right answer doesn’t include too many rare letters.
