The Wordle Postgame Report is a brief analysis of a game of Wordle, the five-letter-word guessing game now owned by the New York Times. If you do not play Wordle, Indignity encourages you to please skip thism. The existence of the Wordle Postgame Report does not constitute an endorsement of playing Wordle, of not playing Wordle, or of the New York Times.
THE GUESSES STARTED off in easy, nearly unthinking harmony: PLATE got a green A and yellow T, and then TRAIN made the T green and added a yellow N. Now to make the N go green, in turn, and maybe win the game: THANK. The N did its part, but there was no new green or yellow to accompany it. A harsh note of recognition: not H and K, but W and G.
The Wordle Postgame Report will be posted semi-regularly on the website of the Indignity newsletter, or possibly even daily if people turn out to want to read it. If you enjoy reading the Wordle Postgame Report, please subscribe to Indignity to support the writer in doing this and other things that would be hard to justify at a salaried day job.
