The Wordle Postgame Report is a brief analysis of a game of Wordle, the five-letter-word guessing game now owned by [a newspaper whose staff is currently on strike]. 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 [newspaper whose staff is currently on strike].

December 8, NO WORDLE

THE WORDLE POSTGAME Report does not cross picket lines, and happily consigns its winning streak of 100-whatever games to the bonfire. Best of luck to the New York Times Guild in its negotiations with management. Next Wordle tomorrow, when they're back on the job.

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!
