Do You Ever Think About How Much Brain Power It Takes to Play Wordle????? [View all]

I enjoy the Wordle on my phone. BUT. It takes a whoooooooooole lotta mental energy just to make it in 6 tries. Three is a miracle. And afterwards I feel such a mix of emotions.

- Relieved that I got it. Even if it took 6 tries.

- Stressed that I almost didn't get it.

- Proud because I have a decent vocabulary. Heck, I have an AMAZING vocabulary. You can't play this game without an extensive vocabulary.

- But then annoyed that they come up with such tough words. Earlier today, I had "lupus". And scalp.

I think 8 rounds is my limit, and then I'm mentally drained. It's like the mental version of an exercise bike.
