What are all these wordles that everyone keeps posting? I have no idea what these green and yellow boxes are supposed to be.
It's each player's winning grid for a game called Wordle, that became quite popular recently. It was a game invented last year, I think, by some guy in England (if I remember correctly), but then he sold it to the New York Times for a number in the low-seven figures.
THAT is a puzzle?
No, that's just the result. Here's the link to the game:
https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.htmlThe idea is to try and guess the day's random five-letter word. You enter a real word, and if a letter is not in the word of the day, that letter turns gray. If the letter is in the word but not in the right place for the word of the day, that letter shows as yellow, and if the letter is in the right place in the word, it's green. You have six chances to try to guess each day's word of the day. If you don't make it within those six chances, it'll show the word, but you can't play again until the next day...or you use a different browser or device.
