A grandmother missed her daily game of Wordle. She was being held against her will, police say.

A Chicago-area grandmother had a habit of sending her daughter a Wordle game every morning. When she didn't send a game on February 6, her family knew something was wrong.  

Denyse Holt, who is 80 years old, had woken up to a real-life nightmare the night before. A naked stranger had crept into her bedroom — with scissors in his hand. He was covered in blood, Holt told CBS Chicago.  

"I was in shock," she told the station of the 17-hour ordeal. "I was trying to survive — that's all."
