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, not playing Wordle, or of the New York Times.

December 27, CONDO, 4/6

WITH NOTHING IN particular to wake up in time for, I'd slept like I was in the GRAVE. The result was as blank as my mind. TOPIC got a green O and a yellow C. I was tired of playing systematically: there might be a CH in the word, MOOCH would be a funny answer, I played MOOCH. Wordle was not in that much of a fun mood, but while MOOCH wasn't right, the reckless guess of a double letter was almost right—there was a second O, but it was yellow. The C had to go in the beginning, and the O's had to be split up. CONDO. Every letter had found a place to live.

The Wordle Postgame Report will be posted semi-regularly on the website of the Indignity newsletter, and on Popula, which we encourage you to support. Thank you for reading!
