Every morning, first thing, we pick up our phones and attempt to playWordle.

What’s the word?

Then it’s deduction, but it’s also vocabulary!

What are you doing to me?

Real talk: I am horrible at Wordle.

Here’s what I’ve noticed about Wordle.

Maybe you’ll do better?

So much about this is brilliant.

It looks a bit like someone’s sharing their eye test, to be honest.

Then there are the grids themselves.

I am a sucker for a game where you make something as a byproduct of playing.

That grid: I want to know what it is, I want to understand it.

The secret element though is getting people to post these things in the first place.

You post a Wordle grid in part because you’re showing off?

You’re smart and literate and hip to the latest thing.
