Poll: Everyone is obsessed with Wordle - have you played it yet?

You may have seen it mentioned on your Twitter feed recently.

THE WORLD HAS gone mad for Wordle. 

The crossword-style game has gained over two and a half million players since software engineer Josh Wardle created it as a gift for his partner only three months ago.

Every day, players are given a new five-letter word to figure out in only six guesses.

Once complete, they get a block of green, yellow, black and white blocks that they can share on social media, but only other players will be able to understand what it means. 

So today, we’re asking: Have you played Wordle yet?


Poll Results:

No, I've never heard of it (6473)
No, but I've heard of it (3318)
Yes, I play it every day (2711)
Yes, once or twice (1060)
