“Why am I seeing random squares all over Twitter?” Well…
Over the last few weeks, Wordle has taken the internet by storm. By now, you’ve probably seen hundreds of colorful result boxes flooding your social media timelines.
Black, green, yellow…just all over the place.
You might even be responsible for a few of those results. However, if you’ve been living under a rock and you have no idea what I’m talking about. Allow me to explain…
What is “Wordle?”
What are the rules of Wordle?
The game gives you six chances to guess a five-letter word. After each guess, Wordle will let you know if you’ve gotten any of the letters right and if they’re in the correct spot. After you’ve successfully figured out the word, you have the option to share in your group chats or to your social media accounts.
Pro tip: There are algorithms that are being used to predict the best starting word for Wordle, and though the game (and hence the algorithm) have to change daily, here are the current best starting words:
- SLATE
- SAUCE
- SLICE
- SHALE
- SAUTE
- SHARE
- SOOTY
- SHINE
- SUITE
- CRANE
Anyway, Twitter seems to be Wordle’s epicenter. People all over the world have been not only sharing their scores but also hilarious memes and jokes about Wordle.
