Daily Word Puzzle: Conquer Wordle on May 1st
Have you ever played Wordle? This seemingly easy game challenges you to guess a five-letter word within six attempts. Each attempt lets you know which letters are in the correct word and in the correct position (green), present but not in the correct position (yellow), or not in the word at all (gray).
Interestingly enough, at its height of popularity in early 2022, individuals were posting their daily Wordle scores with such regularity that it led to arguments over social media oversharing! Care to have a go at it?
