Wordle
Wordle is a simple but challenging word game that has gained a huge following. Built by Josh Wardle, a software engineer in Brooklyn, and now owned by The New York Times, the game can only be played once a day. The object of the game is to guess a five letter word in six attempts. Clues are given along the way as colored tiles. Green means a letter is in the correct place, tan means the letter is in the word but in the wrong place. You get the idea. Click here to play, but be warned, the game is addictive.
