February 18th brings players another great Wordle word to guess. Wordle is a once-a-day word-guessing game that gained popularity at the beginning of 2022 due to its simple gameplay and one-a-day puzzles. The game has players guessing a random five-letter word within six attempts.
Wordle is played on a 5x6 grid and players start the game by using a random starting word. Wordle will provide information with each guess by highlighting certain letters green if they are correct, yellow if they are correct but in the wrong spot, or grey if they are not in the word at all. With this information, players continue guessing until the correct word is found, or they run out of chances. Wordle also provides a 'Hard Mode' which can be turned on in the options menu. This mode locks letters into place based on the information given, so a letter that has already been used and proven incorrect cannot be used in any future guesses.

Wordle's popularity can be traced back to its simple, yet effective, social media sharing ability. When a Wordle puzzle is completed, players will be offered the option to 'share' their success, or failure. The game shows off the player's Wordle journey by using small colored emoji boxes that represent each word guessed. This is the perfect way to show how a player did without spoiling the answer for others. These little boxes littered people's social media timelines and only added more players over time.
