I like it. Got the answer in 3 tries, but glad there isn't a timer Glad you nudged me to check it out

I decided to stop playing Words With Friends 2 solo challenges, because the game keeps crashing and wastes time and battery. I was looking for a diversion to have with my coffee!

I just heard of Wordle last night. The New Yorker ran a cartoon I saw on facebook, which I didn't get. Here is the link:
