I don't even know if I play it. It's a double blind experiment I'm involved in
No thanks, I'm not into Pokemon
- Wordle evolves into Crossword.
  
  Crossword evolved into Crozzle
Aw man, I bet it turns out all along I'm just training AI. Why not? What a valuable asset I am. I bet I'll end up paying for myself later
I went to a party where the average age was 60yos.
I never even heard of Wordle until the old folks spent an hour talking about it and sharing strategies.
So I equate Wordle to "old people games" like Sudoku, crosswords, and all those freemium iPhone puzzle games. (Not that there's anything wrong with that)
- I'm in my 20s and I feel personally attacked.
  
  There's nothing wrong with bonding with old people and playing the games they like
- Wordle became very popular among the Twitterrati. It blew up there because of the way you could share your result without spoiling the answer. The average Twitter user back then wasn’t that old.
- All of my friends (who are all in their late 20s) play Wordle, so I don't know how accurate that is.
- Isn't it just Scrabble? I thought it was like the new Words With Friends.
  
  No, it's a daily five letter word puzzle. NYT acquired it
- Ah, I see you're in the control group that doesn't talk to girls.
  
  Sounds like a pretty fucked up study tbh 😄
Not a shitpost.
- Bet
You'd think you're playing wordle, but its really a wordsearch
I'm definitely going to pull this one out sometime.

Ooh, I'm gonna start using this so much!
Hey guys, I’m a huge fan of Wordle — I even made my own Wordle-style game. It’s just so addictive!
