Such is the case for Wordle.
Games look different over time, and word games are no different.
However, word games as we know them today are modern inventions.
In each guess, your letters will be either grey, yellow, or green.
From there, each guess should help you narrow down until you get the word.
Six guesses isn’t a lot, but it makes the game the perfect balance of challenging and rewarding.
Wordle tracks your progress, showing your streaks and statistics at the end of your guesses each day.
The streak feature holds people accountable.
Just one word a day keeps the game from getting stale and makes people look forward to it.
It then gained traction in December, leading to its spikes in popularity in January.
Ultimately, Wordle is the pandemic’s latest phase (R.I.P.
the sourdough era), and its lack of monetization keeps it fun, too.
