Throughout December, clusters of green and yellow symbols began to festoon Twitter feeds with festive decorations. The tweets were related to a simpleand free online word game, Wordle that is now a must-play game in the past few weeks, with hundreds of thousands of people posting their daily score using social media. The game is reminiscent of a typical daily newspaper puzzle - a five-minute conundrum that blends well into the busiest of routines: guess the five-letter word. You're allowed to make six guesses.

The letters are colored green if they're present and properly placed as well as yellow if not present, but they are incorrectly placed in the wrong place, and gray if they don't appear in the target word at all. Like in board games like Battleship or Mastermind Mastermind, you are able to use this tiny information to boost your next guess and narrow in on the word that you are trying to find. (Infuriatingly it gives no information on whether a letter is used more than once in the word you want to guess which is a design feature that generates online outrage when, for instance, the word "TRUSS" appears.)
According to the New York Times, play wordle was launched last year by an engineer from Brooklyn, Josh Wardle, as a gift to his partner. The game soon became a favourite among his family and friends. The popularity of the game gradually spread all over the internet, from 90 players on 1 November up to 300,000 players on the 2nd January.
The simplicity of the game is the best part. The one Wordle has been launched every day, and it's the same version for all players. There aren't any ads in the game, no notifications reminding you to check back each day or to purchase new skins an option to change the look that your characters appear in, also no offering coupons in exchange for telling your friends about the game. With the amount of traffic it receives it is easy to make money from Wordle's achievement is huge. But the game's rejection the capitalism-based systems that characterize the majority of video games today is refreshing and has a wholesome character. Long might Wordle be as pure.
