Recently, the Wordle sensation has taken the internet by storm. It is a daily word game that gives six tries to guess a randomly selected word.

Every day a new word is chosen, allowing people to play once a day. The colors green, gray, and yellow depict whether a letter is in the correct spot, in the incorrect spot, or not in the word at all. Junior, Melia Arboit, learned of the game recently.

“[I have been playing] for about a week,” Arboit said. “It’s really cool [and] it gets your mind working in the morning.”

Due to the game’s immense popularity, the game has gained over 300,000 players daily. Arboit believes the game provides something for everyone.

“I feel like it’s not [overhyped],” Arboit said. “It’s a cool game that everyone can play.”

Sophomore Noah Randel is an avid Wordle player. Some may call him a Wordle professional.

“It’s the only thing that makes me feel alive, you know,” Randel said. “Every day I wake up, and the first thing on my mind is: I gotta do the Wordle.”

Wordle has quickly become a topic of conversation and an unexpected new habit. All different kinds of celebrations of getting the 5-letter-word are posted online. It brings Randel a sense of accomplishment.

“I feel like if I don’t post my Wordle, what am I really doing this for?” Randel said. “Why am I here?”

Many people have a staple word that they play on their first turn. Some start with ADIEU because it includes many vowels, and some SOARE because it has shown higher probability rates of having included letters. Randel has a different approach.

“I usually [start] with the MEATS,” Randel said. “It’s a good, solid word. It has the e, a, and t in there. Both very high probability letters.”

Other people’s tips and tricks are not Randel’s style. He likes to choose words sporadically.

“Usually I come up with my own ideas,” Randel said. “I haven’t done a lot of research to Wordle, but I mainly try and do my own thing.”

There have been controversies that the original UK game prefers the American-English spelling. This does not phase Randel.

“You can call me stupid all you want, but I got ULCER in four guesses,” Randel said.

If you think true love cannot be with an online game, think again, because Randel is committed. Randel wanted to provide some motivational words for your wordle playing. Happy wordling, but according to him, don’t use the word SUGAR.

“Sugar’s mad gnarly, bro,” Randel said.
