In Wordle, because guesses and targets all have to be real words, some letters are more likely to appear, making some guesses better than others. In Mastermind, all six colours were equally likely to appear in the target. It’s sort of like the boardgame Mastermind but with a key difference.
Every time they make a guess, they are told which letters in their guess are in the word and in the correct position (green), and which letters are in it but in a different position (yellow). In Wordle, players have six tries to guess a target five-letter word. You can listen to more articles from The Conversation, narrated by Noa, here. As of January 10, the game has 2.7 million players. It was created by Josh Wardle for his crossword-loving partner. This is the latest pandemic phenomenon called Wordle – a free online game that gives users a new word puzzle each day. If you’ve been on any social media platform in the past two weeks, you’ve probably seen a grid of green, yellow and black squares.
