It's a word game, kinda like Mastermind, only using actual real five-letter words.
Guess the word, and it shows 1) incorrect letters, 2) correct letters in place, and 3) correct letters out of place. You get 6 tries to guess the word. There's a new word each day and you can only play once a day, and it keeps track of your stats.
Everyone gets the same word, so giving away the word of the day is frowned upon, in case you haven't played yet today. (I mean, you can, if you just want to be a jerk.) People love to compare how many tries they used to get today's word.
@suzianne saidInteresting, maybe someday. Right now, it's late and I'm tired, so I'm going to play bedle. 😴

@suzianne saidIt's now played on TV in the UK in a game show called Lingo. Daytime TV reference there. Just how unhealthy can this retirement thing get?!?

@relentless-red saidLingo was a TV show here in the US as well. The emcee was none other than Chuck Woolery of Love Connection fame.

I used to play Mastermind back when it came out. I couldn't even remember how the game was played. I had to watch a video to refresh my memory. Im colorblind which never helped. I liked the game, played it a lot until Trivial Pursuit came out.
I can't imagine how much tougher it would be with 5 letters as opposed to 4 colors and 4 spaces.
I'm glad it made a comeback.
@suzianne saidI may try that one out, but bucket list of things to do is backed up at the moment .

@gambrel saidThis has a color blind option that uses different colors.
