Does anyone here play WORDLE???  If so, can you please give me instructions on how to get there with an iPhone???  I was there yesterday but it takes forever to find it.  Every time I google it, it gives me answers and I don't want that.  I want the game for today.  I think it's 261 or 262....... TIA

I do  Wordle is not an app.  You have to google it.  It was actually purchased by the New York times.  go to www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html

I play Wordle and Wordle2 everyday.  I use Google to get there on my iPhone...New York Times/Wordle.  Wordle2 has its own website that I access through Google.  Hope this helps.

I am definitely addicted to Wordle but it is a relatively recent phenomenon. I googled it and found an archive that allows you to play every game from day one.

@evelyner   Since it's owned by the NY Times, is it paywalled?  Does playing the game count against your allotment of free articles?

 

By the way, thank you for the link.  Maybe I'll play if there are no other consequences.

Actually, I first heard about it on Anderson Cooper's show when he had Monica Lewinsky on.  She was plugging it.    Anderson said he starts every day with the words ARISE or AROSE - so that's what I do too.  It's a beginning......

I started playing when I first heard about it and after a few weeks I introduced my husband to it. He is very competitive so now it's a race to see who can get the word in the fewest tries.

It's a good brain exercise.
