“Created by a software engineer in Brooklyn for his partner”: The New York Times has the story behind Wordle. And here’s the game. Fortunately, it’s only one play a day.
I wondered about the name: wasn’t there a website for creating a cloud of words, a “wordle,” from a chunk of text? Like this? Or this? Yes, but it’s gone.
Thanks, Ben.

I remember a website that you could use to create one of those clouds. I wonder if wordles are one of those trends that is on the way out. But here are some alternatives to try: https://monkeylearn.com/blog/wordle/
How about the banished words of 2022 : https://www.lssu.edu/traditions/banishedwords/
The one i love is "you're on mute." As someone remarked 2 years in on video calls and people can't find the unmute button. It's not like it changes every time you get on a call. And it's not limited to older people........

Yes, the original was Wordle (wordle.net). I didn’t know there are now others — thanks.
That list: I wince at 3 and 4. I’ve used “No worries” now and then — I think it can serve a good purpose as reassurance. In fambly communications I sometimes like ‘No worries if not” as a joke
I’ve never been on mute. : )
Got it in three. Are there longer words at times?
The Times article says it’s always five.
Wordle is great fun game. Have you guys also played wordle unlimited
Great for practice — thanks.
Wordle Unlimited is really an amazing game to improve your vocabulary skills and mind.
Same name, but a different website. There are any number of free versions available — anyone interested can do a search for free wordle.
