Have you done your Wordle yet today?

Man, yesterday’s was tough! It took me four tries, but I finally got there.

If you aren’t familiar with Wordle, it is the online word game that has taken the internet by storm. I am not on social media that much, so my husband Andrew introduced it to me. We are pretty competitive, so we are always looking for new games to play.

Keep in mind that I am not a trend-seeker or band-wagon person. I never got into Pokemon, Animal Crossing, or any of those other types of online phenomenons that captured the cultural zeitgeist of the time. I do things because I enjoy them. Not because everyone says I should.

And I do enjoy Wordle. It makes sense because I’ve always loved word games, whether Hangman when I was a kid or the New York Times Crossword puzzle when I got older.
