Wednesday's Wonder: Try the word ‘PLATE’ for starters
Feeling that mid-week slump? It's Wednesday, the sun is shining, and just looking at your laptop feels like a punishment. You need a break—something to clear the dust from your mind and dissolve the stress. And that's where Wordle comes in!
This deceptively simple word-based game was created by Josh Wardle, a software engineer, for his partner during the COVID-19 pandemic. The game was meant to be a private thing for the two of them. It picked up steam by the end of 2021 as players began sharing their daily results through social media, thus making Wordle a global phenomenon.
Finally, the game was purchased by The New York Times. When you want to take a short break from all the stresses of day-to-day life, Wordle is just the perfect thing—a tiny mental challenge that will never overburden you.
DID YOU KNOW
Wordle rarely ends the answers in the letter ‘S.’ Despite ‘S’ being the most common last letter in general five-letter English words (appearing 31% of the time), it’s the 15th most popular last letter in Wordle words, appearing less than 2% of the time. This anti-plural bias is a surprising result of the game’s curated word list.
