Simple, Wordle

I love Wordle’s emphasis on simplicity.

It’s a game of deduction, not just random guessing. But if you had to choose between two possible answers, the simpler one is usually the correct choice.

Case in point, a couple of days ago, I came across a word where I had two letters right.

_ _ _ O R

I guessed T U M O R.

As it turned out, the word was H U M O R.

Lesson learnt. When it comes to Wordle – and indeed many other situations in life – the simpler choice will usually lead you to the answer.
