Ideas, methods and extra
I’ve written lots about Wordle — from protecting its 1,000th phrase to my checklist of the finest starter phrases to a useful two-step technique to controversial phrase modifications.

That is the sport the place you have a look at a grid of 16 phrases and attempt to put them into 4 teams of associated phrases. Generally the relationships between the phrases are fairly on the market — just like the time when it was 4 phrases that each one started with rock bands, akin to RUSHMORE and JOURNEYMAN. (Connections received somewhat sassy on April Idiot’s Day with an all-emoji puzzle.)
