Wordle Postgame Report, August 16
GAMES OF SKILL AND CHANCE DEP'T.
August 16, GRUEL, 3/6
The Wordle Postgame Report is a brief analysis of a game of Wordle, the five-letter-word guessing game now owned by the New York Times. If you do not play Wordle, Indignity encourages you to please skip this item. The existence of the Wordle Postgame Report does not constitute an endorsement of playing Wordle, of not playing Wordle, or of the New York Times.
THE CHOICE OF opening with FLUTE worked like magic: yellow L, green U, yellow E. Where could the E go from here but right after the U? The best possible answer would be CRUEL. But Wordle turned up gray on the C. There was only one other answer to be had, flavorless though it might be. The G plopped into place, for GRUEL.
The Wordle Postgame Report will be posted semi-regularly on the website of the Indignity newsletter, or possibly even daily if people turn out to want to read it. If you enjoy reading the Wordle Postgame Report, please subscribe to Indignity to support the writer in doing this and other things that would be hard to justify at a salaried day job.
