Wordle

Today I completed my 1000th Wordle. This game was developed by a Welsh web developer and bought over by NYT in Jan 2022.

I was introduced to this by a good friend sometime during Covid. We were having lunch and she was playing Wordle. So I learnt the details of this game from her that day.

Initialy I wasn’t too excited about this game and I wasn’t consistent in doing the puzzle daily. Later it grew on me and it became something I would do first thing every morning.

Trying to guess the five letter word with 6 guesses can be challenging especially with some really difficult words like OZONE or MOTTO. Double letters and words having letters using Z,X,Q can make guessing the word challenging. I have a 98% success and am hoping to play till I hit a 99% rate.

Actually I sometimes wonder because there must be a limit to the number of 5 letter words there are. I know it’s not infinite. What will happen when they run out of 5 letter words? Will they recycle the words?

Today is Wordle no. 1491. I have done 1000 so it had been on for about slightly more than a year before I got on board. I will see where this ends…
