Colm O'Regan: Wordle is not what a Dubliner calls the planet
Wordle. By now the word will have trickled through to you via some network, maybe messages with a load of green yellow and grey boxes on the family WhatsApp group. If you haven’t come across it, WORDLE is not what a Dubliner calls the planet. It’s a word game on the Internet. You must guess what today’s five-letter word is. You get six attempts -each of which has to be a real word- and then you must wait a day for the next one. It’s easy to get into and compelling. It makes you feel clever if you get it early, tense if you’ve only got one go left, cross when today’s word is FAVOR.
You could do it while watching your Tik Tok video ‘do numbers’, or while you’re standing next to a crush laden with bullocks, waiting for the vet to come.
