This summer I hit pause on Wordle,
but the other day I
tickled my Wordle fancy...
and
nailed it in 3.
“Impressive”
(declared the online Wordle cheerleader.)
In case you don’t know,
Wordle is a daily New York Times word game
invented by Josh Wardle.
Guess a 5 letter word in 6 or less tries...
and you win.
But for me,
if I guess it in more than 4 tries…
I’m not a happy camper
or
a happy homebody.
nasty day ahead
Anywho..….
I have been playing Wordle for a few years;
always starting with the word
“RAISE.”
Every single day, every day of the week,
every single time,
of every single day
I use the word…
"RAISE."
Never fail, never falter.
Never ever.
You get the picture?
Enough already, Kat.
So one random day, Friday April 19, 2024,
out of the wild blue Wordle…
PaulA asked me...
“Why don’t you change your word?
Don’t use “RAISE.”
Try something else? See how it goes?”
After wallowing in Wordle dilemma
I cautiously caved to his suggestion
and I started with a different word...
"YOUTH."
So,
as the Wordle world spins…
the word that day was…
"RAISE."
Of course it was.
The very, very, very word
I had used every day
every time, every single solitary day,
except that dang day.
I would have been
a Wordle Wonder Woman
instead of this Wordle whiner.
What are the odds of guessing the word in one try?
Who cares.
I’m more curious about the odds
of changing the word I've used
every day for 3 years...
on the day
it is the Wordle.
I understand in the end,
it was my fault.
I listened to PaulA. I take full responsibility.
It was my choice.
But, it wasn’t my idea to change it.
If only he had been on a walk,
taking a shower
or on a
Honey-do trip to Home Depot.
I still love the guy tho
even though he cost me
a perfect Worlde game
and
cost me
future Wordle Winner bragging rights.
As you can see …
I’m over it.
I’ve moved on.
No big deal.
It’s just a game...
(she says sheepishly
with a Wordle wimper
and
googles
“how to let things go.”)
What's your WORDle?
