Yeah I know, I'm a grumpy fucker

Self-awareness is important.

Because it is definitely your problem not theirs. Being actively annoyed by something this minor on social media is a ridiculous reaction.

@lollipoprainbow

No one cares what your scores are !
Other people who play Wordle probably do.

I rather enjoy it now that I've tried it. Grin

camperqueen54 · 05/02/2022 14:17

I have a competition going with family in USA. It's not all about you!

Backhometothenorth · 05/02/2022 14:18

Oo thanks - just tried nerdle and love it! Got it in 4 for thiose that are interested Grin

Botanica · 05/02/2022 14:20

The same reason people post their runs, their lunch, their kids and their pets.

Because it makes them happy and because they can.

Just scroll on by....

I'm stumped today. My brother got it second try! I haven't found my starting equation yet, though. [/quote]
I struggled with it today - my second ever 6.

Daily wordle is free, as is the wordle archive

@eldora

I’ve just started Wordlimg yesterday (two out of two so far 😎), can someone explain, do i really have to wait around for the next Wordle?

How do I know when the next Wordle is available without having to set a reminder on my phone?

I think it is available from midnight
BobHadBitchTits · 05/02/2022 14:46

This is literally the most times I've ever been quoted on a thread.

mizzo · 05/02/2022 14:47

I don't know why anyone would be interested but I completely lack whatever it is that makes people competitive. DH goes mad if I win when we play squash because I don't care I've won and I don't try to win. I just like whacking a ball around really hard!

Viviennemary · 05/02/2022 14:47

Because they are self centred pains. Ignore them.

Notimeforaname · 05/02/2022 14:49

I'd never even heard of wordle til now.. am I missing out bigly?

It's just wordle.com, no 9.99 version!

Have you never in your life gone along with a fad?

You can block words and hashtags on SM, thus eliminating the unbearable squares from your life forever.

My family and some friends have a Wordle WhatsApp group - it's fun and just a bit of healthy competition.

Live and let live - we all like different things.

Meandthesky · 05/02/2022 14:56

Of all the pointless stuff people post on social media, wordle is just a bit of harmless fun. If it bothers you, you can unfollow the people who do it.

I play daily (the free online one) but have only posted my score online once when I got it on my second guess.

FourChimneys · 05/02/2022 14:59

Our family WhatsApp group has a lot of Wordle and Nerdle sharing because we all enjoy it but I wouldn't put it on Facebook.

It is more interesting than photos of cats, dogs or meals though imo.

Rebeccasmoonnecklace · 05/02/2022 15:04

@WomanStanleyWoman I think it shows we have a varied vocabulary 😂😂

cheekychaplin · 05/02/2022 15:13

I do nerdle as well, I don't share them on my wall but I will comment them on friends posts about the games. Particularly the day 'moist' was the word - one of my friends got it in 2 so I shared my 5 and had a bit of a joke about her dirty mind Grin

crazyjinglist · 05/02/2022 15:14

No one cares what your scores are!

How do you know that no one cares? Presumably what you mean is you don't care. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that some people do Wordle themselves and enjoy the mild feeling of competitiveness they get from seeing their FB friends' scores. Doesn't mean you have to be interested. Maybe unfollow them if you find it that annoying?

Fwiw I do Wordle and have never posted my score, but do not remotely object to other people posting theirs.

AlternativePerspective · 05/02/2022 15:22

It is irritating as fuck.

I use voiceover and the way the Wordle scores read are That it reads the images as text, so you get e.g. “blue square, large purple square, 3 green square,” you get the gist.

I’ve unfollowed about 20 people on my timeline.
