If you love Wordle, you really love my decrepit Facebook feed and daily trash-talking text thread shared among my husband, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law. It's a great way to get the kids off to school, and it's also a great way to advertise your results to anyone who will listen.
Since the word game went viral around the New Year, puzzle lovers and word nerds have been delighted in the process of eliminating their way to the solution in as few attempts as possible. The green, yellow, and grey boxes are graphs of their attempts and failures. Some superfans enjoy reverse-engineering to figure out their progression. Thankfully, he has a separate thread for that.
It is quick and challenging, but not brain-breaking. The ad-free interface conjures the quiet of a Scrabble board or old school crossword puzzle. The only problem? Wordle only has one puzzle per day, miffing people who want more opportunities to hone their skills.
A fourth-year student at Duke University has come up with a solution to the problem. The archive is designed to let you solve all the previous Wordles. It is exciting for people who didn't jump on the bandwagon until after the game went viral. As of today, there have been 221 puzzles, but I didn't start until after #210. There are so many Wordles to uncover.
The archive has the same look as regular Wordle, with five buttons at the top. You can cruise through Wordles if you choose where you want to start.
