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 this item. The existence of the Wordle Postgame Report does not constitute an endorsement of playing Wordle, not playing Wordle, or of the New York Times.
November 16, BAKER, 3/6
THE RADAR HAD said the rain moved on, but the drizzle soaked through my shoes on the way to the school dropoff. I played BLEAK to open, and hit what looked like the jackpot: green B, yellow E, A, and K. I could bring the game to a halt in two rounds with BRAKE. Unless—what if it was BAKER? BAKER was a great word, very Richard Scarry. But I would feel like an idiot if I'd thought of BRAKE first and not played it, only for it to be the answer. I played BRAKE. Green, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow. Back in the oven for one more round.
The Wordle Postgame Report will be posted semi-regularly on the website of the Indignity newsletter, and on Popula.

Two of the Daleks in the picture are his arch enemies, but the other two? They don't have a strong opinion on the Doctor either way. Maybe take off your ideological blinders, rethink your assumptions about the Dalek Empire, and reach out to people with whom you disagree.
