Angelika Here in the US, the Wordle fever has been spreading for quite some time now. Everyone is playing the game, and a common question at work is: "Have you figured out today's "Wordle" yet?" What's going on? Behind "Wordle" hides an online letter game. The task in each round of the game is to guess a secret five-letter word in a maximum of six attempts. You start with any word that consists of five letters. The software then indicates whether the word to be guessed has same letters as your guess.
If a letter of the secret word is present in your guess and in the correct position, it will be displayed in green. The letter will be highlighted in yellow in your guess if it is in the secret word, but in the wrong position. If a letter in your guess turns gray, it means that it isn't present in the word to be guessed at all. Josh Wardle, a Brit living in New York, made the game popular on the internet. By the end of 2021 it had spread like wildfire. Then, the newpaper The New YorkTimesI purchased the game in January 2022, and the boom began.
There is only one word to guess per day. Even German versions have been on the market for quite some time. At my school, we play the English "Wordle" with my fourth graders every day. It's a great trick to practice spelling and expand vocabulary. I'm always amazed at the words my students know. I can also highly recommend "Wordle" to learn English. Michael, of course, went ahead and wrote a program that automatically cracks the word in "Wordle". That leaves you speechless.
