Decompression & Calm
PEOPLE! I have discovered the key to decompression and calm. All it takes is trying to guess the correct five-letter word in so many tries. 😂 Yes, I am talking about wordle and all its offshoots.
At this point, nearly everyone knows about Wordle. Guess the five-letter word in six tries. Simple and entertaining fun. But, there is more!!! There’s Dordle (guessing two words in seven tries), Quordle (guessing four words in nine tries), Octordle (guessing eight words in thirteen tries), and Sedecordle (guessing sixteen words in twenty-one tries). I am sure there are more, but these are the ones that I am currently aware of. You may think this is getting out of hand, but I love ALL OF THIS.
Why do I spend this time and energy to bring this to your attention? Two reasons:
Reason the first: I didn’t know about all of them until recently so I am sharing. If you are like me and you like this game, then this is awesome to learn. 👍🏿
Reason the second: There are so few genuine and free joys in the world nowadays. Therefore, I feel obligated to share whatever nonsense might actually make someone’s day a little better.
Simply put: These games bring happiness, decompression, and calm in a crazy world that is full of complete and utter bullshit. So, if that helps you too, then you’re welcome. If you have any addiction and this is going to make it worse….well, I’m sorry and you’re welcome.
Know any other offshoots of Wordle? This is a safe place so please share in the comments.

I love these too! I found about them because my younger brother sent them to me—he is almost a decade younger than I am so we don’t always have much to talk about, but we have started texting each other results. It’s been a nice way to bond.
Thanks! My friend and I play them all every day and share the results. It’s funny when we get stuck on the same words. 😂
