Wordle truly is the perfect little game. It's the first thing I do when I wake up each morning, contemplating my opening gambit - usually some variation on strep/strip/strap - before solving the puzzle as quickly as I can. At least that's mostly the case. If I'm stumbling and fumbling with my answer, if by guess 4 I have almost no clue as to what the word is I'll pause. Perhaps for 10 minutes, perhaps for a few hours, before I pick it back up with a fresh set of eyes and a clear head.
I'm on a 27 game winning streak, which I'm proud of, but enough of those have come down to the last clue to keep me from boasting too openly of my "success".
I discovered that there is a Wordle Archive as well that you can use to play past games and practice your strategy around how best to solve clues.
The New York Times recently purchased the game for a small sum of money (somewhere around $1 million apparently). Here's hoping they keep it just as it is.
