What is Wordle and why is the Internet obsessed with it?

Wordle requires the player to guess a five-letter word in six tries. The best part is that the word can be anything within the English language.

The gloomy days of the pandemic are looming over us yet again. There has been a steep rise in the number of Covid-19 cases since last week and advisories have been issued to stay at home unless it is absolutely necessary to go out. To cure the pandemic blues, there were a multitude of games and activities that emerged in the last two lockdowns and are popular till now. However, there has been a new entry into the market. A game which goes by the name Wordle has caught the fancy of the internet and, well, netizens are hooked.

Wordle requires the player to guess a five-letter word in six tries. The best part is that the word can be anything within the English language. One more feature that sets aside this vocabulary game is that there is just one level. There is only one Wordle per day. The rules are simple. If the player gets the letter that was a part of the word, then the tile turns yellow. If the player, however, guesses a letter that is in the word and the position is correct as well, the tile turns green. If the player guesses anything else, the tile turns grey.
