Very well put, especially with the focus on the fact that having fun means different things for different people.
I played the game maybe twice, the game itself is just very boring and hard for me (though generally, I hate playing games, so it's not a critique on the game).
But!
I read the source code and checked the implementation. I read many different strategies optimizing for different aspects of the game. I implemented a very naive solver in JavaScript, then I thought about more advanced data structures and algorithms I could use to improve my naive solver (both from the game's POV and from the computational POV). I watched videos cloning the app with different frameworks (or without) and technologies (mobile, command line, web) and I listened to the author on a podcast.
I'm having fun and I'm learning while doing these things, so I appreciate Wordle, even if I can't be bothered to solve the daily word.
