What are the extra touches for those who never played Wordle?
- benoliver999 5y agoWell, there's no timer in wordle whereas in lingo you are against the clock. You only get to play one puzzle a day.The solution is the same for the whole world every day. Part of its success is the simplicity I think, and the fact you don't need an app.
- klyrs 5y agoI think the real thing that made it go viral are the "certificates" it gives you for solutions, which get shared on social media: https://www.kaggle.com/benhamner/wordle-1-6 https://www.kaggle.com/benhamner/wordle-1-6

- ihuman 5y agoPress the graph icon next to the "WORDLE" on the top of the screen, then press "share"
- jamespullar 5y agoAfter successfully solving the daily puzzle, you're presented with a small popup that includes stats and a share button. The share button adds the sequence of emojis to your clipboard.
- vgel 5y agoWhen it pops up the results dialog after you win, there's a green "Share" button in the bottom right. If you closed the results dialog, you can get it to open again by refreshing the page.
- llbeansandrice 5y agoYou can also just click the bar graph icon in the top right, next to the settings gear.
