A part of the human learning experience, right from childhood, curiosity has led us to be interested in what surrounds us and experiment with new things, and discover the world.

Every morning, the excitement of finishing the Wordle and the desperation of not being able to solve another one is overwhelming. Like me, ?????? ?????? ???? ???????????????? keeps millions of people across the globe hooked for the next day.

Wordle, a word game, can be played once a day on the New York Times site where the player has to guess a five-letter word within six tries. You have a singular focus and then you’re done. The name has been coined after the creator's last name.

Josh Wardle, a British-raised New York resident and a software engineer at Brooklyn art collective originally built Wordle last year for his partner Palak Shah, a word puzzle enthusiast, for them to play.

He hosted it on a website he’s had for years as a home for his other creative efforts and casually shared the game with family and a few well-placed friends.

Over the space of weeks, the number of players has increased from 90 on November 1 to over 300,000 people playing on January 2 as reported by The New York Times.

According to Insider, Wordle has become the first viral game of 2022, with millions of players sharing their daily scores. And this kept me thinking about what kept 3 million people engaged across the globe staring at their screens to guess that one word for the day.

Though I got into this bandwagon of playing wordle in the last 1 month, ?????? ?????? ???? ?????????????? ?????? ?????????? ?????????? ???????? ???????? ?????????????? ?????? ???????????? ???????????? ?????? ???????????? ???????? ???? ????????.

The best part is the ???????????? ???????? ???????????????????? with ?????????????????? ?????????????????????????? without demanding too much from the user.

The sharing of results feature is limited to sharing daily results in the form of a blank colored grid, the pattern reflects our tries, and how we reached each of them without spoiling the day's answer. The green boxes represent the correctly placed letters and the yellow ones for correct yet misplaced ones. It is ????????????, ?????? ?????? ???????????????? ??????????????????.

?????????????????? - Wordle has created a global community of people who share their answers almost daily and tag each other to share the number of attempts they took to crack the word.

Wordle is sticky. Here's bidding ADIEU to AGREE that end of the day Wordle leaves me with mixed feelings about GREED and being HAPPY at the same time.
