What we've been playing
Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve found ourselves playing over the last few days. This time: weirdly, all of today’s games are about words – uncovering them, working out what they really mean, abusing them for nefarious ends. Words, words, words, to quote the prince.
If you fancy catching up on some of the older editions of What We’ve Been Playing, here’s our archive.
Social media has lately been taken over by sets of grey, green, and yellow blocks accompanied by the word, “Wordle” and some fraction out of 6. If you’ve somehow not yet seen this trending game yet, Wordle is a word puzzle where you try to guess a 5-letter word in 6 guesses or fewer. Each letter of the word is placed on a designated tile on the screen. After each guess, the tiles will change color to show how close you are to guessing the correct word – green will indicate that you’ve placed the correct letter in the correct position, yellow indicates that it’s the correct letter but wrong placement, and the grey color indicates that the letter is not part of the word at all.
