A couple of friends on Facebook post their wordle square on a daily basis - why?????????

OP posts:

@Viviennemary

Because they are self centred pains. Ignore them.

Maybe a slight over reaction? I mean it's Facebook, it's not serious.

@cheekychaplin I used to use 'moist' as one of my first guess words, not sure what that says about me!

YANBU to be irked by it.

It annoys me a bit too. I am a bit sick of seeing people stupid wordle squares tbh. I'm like 'woo hoo....' #handclap. Hmm

On facebook it's the new fucking farmville. I had to unfollow about a dozen people a few years ago, because I got sick of 'I have just harvested 1000 marrows,' and 'Sue needs some hay for her horses...' And the new craze of posting your wordle score is super annoying.

Even Adam on The Last Leg last night said 'we don't care about your wordle score!!!'

Too many people on social media think everyone cares about their trivial shit. No-one does. Putting stuff up occasionally, and putting what you're doing/where you've been now and again is OK. But posting every last second of their life and every movement they make, and their fucking WORDLE score is just annoying. Hmm

Yeah I know, I'm a grumpy fucker. #sorrynotsorry[/quote]
Bloody hell you really are! FB is meant for trivial things is t it?

Oh gosh hahahahah Facebook is definitely meant for trivial things than all your life's serious miserable situations

You sound like you have a chip on your shoulder

@Ionlydomassiveones

Because they’re dull. I’d unfriend. YANBU.
Some people find anyone that uses facebook dull, particulalry when they spend their lives taking photos for it.

I just avoid the subect, rather than criticise other peoples choices.
Unless they expect me to wait for them to take a photo before I eat my meal Grin

isthismylifenow · 05/02/2022 19:17

Scroll on by then OP.

I am quite into it now. What harm is there as its just a bit of fun.

And I am the leading contender in my whatsapp group. Got it in the least lines every day this week 😜

Have you tried it OP? Those that I know that bash it, aren't able to solve it within the 6 lines.

@lollipoprainbow

No one cares what your scores are !
It’s a shared community thing, let people live! Nobody cares about your inspirational quotes or your vaguebooking about someone being snide. It’s all just boring old human connections.

I'd be glad you'd unfriended me, assuming I'd ever been friends with you!
Hugasauras · 05/02/2022 19:47

I don't think it's really about the score, it's just a conversation starter as people often post in comments about what they did, etc. Can't say it bothers me 🤷‍♀️ but I like Wordle Grin

Dilemma22 · 05/02/2022 20:01

Since I started with ‘audio’ every day, I always get it in 2 or 3 guesses.

XenoBitch · 05/02/2022 20:03

My FB feed is full of Wordle and LFTs.

Tyrozet · 05/02/2022 20:06

I tried to play it on an app but got sick of the stupid ads interrupting between each guess.

Is the website different? Can someone link to the "proper" one please?

Wordle fans do.
RampantIvy · 05/02/2022 20:09

I don't understand what it is either. I just scroll past.

A word guessing game, refreshes daily. The graphic shows how a person got the solution without spoiling it for people who haven't played yet.

It's a simple and clever concept, and a fun game for those who enjoy it.

CityMumma78 · 05/02/2022 20:27

I can’t understand why this isn’t more frustrating for everyone!!! There is only one word a day so why post it in SM… annoying!!!

BobHadBitchTits try ORATE - seems to work well! Three vowels and the most common consonants.

Royalbloo · 05/02/2022 21:14

I don't find it any more annoying that a picture of someone's dog (again) or someone checking in to A&E with their kid. It's all inane bollocks!

People don’t post the answer on SM, did you know that? Or did you think people were revealing the one answer- that would be annoying. The answers people have given are hidden with the little coloured squares they post.
