The Dialectics of Wordle
Tracy Bennett the person who runs Wordle for the New York Times has given an interview to the Sunday Times (13th November).
She has promised to avoid using words where the US and UK spelling differs, favour and favor for example. Further she notes that regular checks are made to ensure that the word set is not so difficult that is can’t be easily solved because even if you have four out of the five letters correct there remain seven or eight potential answers.
She also suggests that a reasonable Wordle standard is to solve the daily puzzle on the fourth line out of six.
Perhaps we can have some KPIs…
