If you're anything like me, your day starts with an empty grid on your phone's screen. Those tiny squares are waiting to be filled with guesses at the correct five-letter word, a mystery I usually crack by the fourth or fifth try. I'm talking about Wordle, the daily online word puzzle that's seemingly dominated the internet's attention over the last two months. It's especially popular on Twitter, which has become the social platform of choice for players to share their results. As of early January, more than 300,000 people had played the game, according to .
I've been thinking about what makes [url=/how-to/wordle-tips-best-start-words-strategies-how-to-win/]Wordle so special, and for me it boils down to two characteristics. For one, you can only play once per day, so there are limits around how often you can participate. This builds anticipation and makes Wordle something to look forward to, which is refreshing since I'm used to binging most of my favorite games. Plus, everyone is playing the same puzzle each day, and broadcasting how they did, so there's a sense of community.
Wordleisn't the first game to thrive on the appeal of once-per-day gameplay and shared experiences, and word puzzles existed long before the internet. But Wordle brings back a very specific feeling, one I haven't encountered since the HQ Trivia boom back in 2017 and 2018.
Yes I understand they're two very different games with decidedly different approaches to gameplay. As their respective titles suggest, Wordle is a word puzzle and HQ Trivia is a trivia game show. You can play Wordle any time you wish, but there's only one puzzle per day. HQ Trivia, on the other hand, is an app-based quiz show that happens on a specific schedule, meaning you can only participate in the main game when shows are being broadcast. (The current HQ Trivia app that can be played anytime).

And when there's a particularly difficult Wordle, as was the case on Monday, there's a shared sense of victory or defeat. The two games are inherently different, but they've both managed to draw me back around the same time every day -- not something I can say for most of the games or apps on my phone.
There is also no shortage of Wordle clones easily available for anyone who needs more puzzles, which isn't surprising given the game's simplicity and popularity. HQ Trivia [url=]were also all over the place during the trivia app's moment in the spotlight.
Based on what I've observed anecdotally, I'm not the only one who has built new routines around Wordle. People seem to be using Wordle as a means to bond with their co-workers virtually. This reminds me of the days when HQ Trivia [url=]office watercooler several years ago.
My wordle network is growing. I have 2 group chats, have successfully converted a dozen coworkers, in no time, there won't be a person I know who isn't wordleing — laura (@bookiesncookies)
I don't know if Wordle will be a permanent fixture on my phone, or if I'll similarly be reflecting on its moment in the sun several years later. But I'm certainly enjoying its 15 minutes of fame for now.
