Yellow and green squares everywhere: The Wordl game in Greek version as well

by

Wordle is a word game reminiscent of Mastermind or Scrabble and was created by Brooklyn-based Josh Wardle to play with his pandemic partner. He uploaded it on the internet so you can play it as many times as you want for free, without any ads.

If you are a Twitter user, you have probably seen the pictures with the green and yellow boxes in your feed and captions: “Today was very close! 6/6! »

Wardle chose this pun on his name for the name of the game and announced it in October 2021. He does not want to make money from it and he did it for fun, he has stated. He is a developer and responsible for two social experiments conducted through Reddit. In fact, Wardle also made emojis bricks and so you can write your results on social media and comment on them with your friends. The game now has more than two million players worldwide.

He has also stated that he did it for the sake of his beloved who loves games with hidden words. So, here we are dealing with a game with its own love story.

What is Wordle?

So Wordle is a free game where you have six attempts to guess a five letter word by subtraction. There is one word every day, which is the same for everyone. The new puzzle is released daily at midnight.

Each time you guess a word, the letters will turn green, yellow or gray to indicate if it is in the right place. Green means that the letter is in the correct position, yellow means that the letter appears somewhere in the word but not in its current position, and gray means that the letter is not in the word at all.

Where do you play?

The game is available for free online at powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle. The original Wordle is currently only available through the website.

In a short time, some experts started copying his idea and various clones of the game appeared in the Apple App Store, in order to make money. Apart from that, you can find it in different languages ​​besides English. And there is the porn version. Video game writer Garry Whitta has created this version. She is also non-profit, but it is not so safe to open it in your work while the British write that one will be surprised by how many “bad” words there are in the end.

Where do you share the results?

After you guess the word correctly or the effort is over, you will be asked to share the results. Twitter is a popular spot but be careful not to spoil it. Since everyone has the same word, hints or clues can ruin the puzzle for someone else. If you really want to pity someone for a particularly difficult word, look up some of Wordle’s Twitter communities to share your pain.

Is it also available in Greek?

Yes! The Greek version that you can find is called Word Master and is for strong solvers. It was created – non-profitly – by the professor of the Athens University of Economics, Diomidis Spinellis and is a faithful copy of the original. If you thought it was easier because it is in Greek, you pressed it. It is even more puzzling because the Greek language does not favor words with only five letters.
