With the surge in Covid-19 cases and the third wave hitting the country, people have yet again been confined to the safety of their homes. However, there are some things such as online games and reels on Instagram that have proved successful in quashing boredom. Moreover, a new game, Wordle, has taken the internet by storm and has netizens absolutely hooked.
So, what is Wordle? Well, it is a vocabulary game which requires the player to guess a 5-letter word in six tries. The fun part is that the word can be anything from the English language. Simple, right? However, avid gamers were in for a surprise on Tuesday as most of them struggled to guess the word of the day.
Several players took to Twitter to share their scores and frustrated reactions. The correct answer was ‘Sugar’ but some players had a hard time guessing it.
Take a look:
