If a game can be played in three minutes yet stay in your head all day, it’s doing something right. Wordle hits that sweet spot. It’s a daily five-letter word puzzle where you get six attempts to guess the hidden word. Every guess returns simple color feedback—green for correct letter in the correct spot, yellow for correct letter in the wrong spot, and gray for a letter not in the word. That’s it. No timers, no ads blasting between turns, no endless levels. The elegance is the appeal. Because there’s only one puzzle per day, Wordle creates scarcity: you can’t binge; you savor. And scarcity makes today’s puzzle feel more valuable, like the crisp first page of a new notebook.
