Uwondle
Seemingly overnight in 2021, Wordlers (if that is the right word for those who Wordle) were everywhere. They were having conversations, sharing scores on Twitter, and leading chat groups.
PROBLEM
It was not long before frustrated puzzlers were posting their “hate” for Wordle when they failed to solve the simple word puzzle.
SOLUTION
Obviously meant as a novelty, I designed a knock-off word game in which the puzzler wins every puzzle, in one guess, every single time. I worked with a developer to create Uwondle and now anyone, regardless of age or ability, can have the satisfaction of solving the puzzle by entering any five letter word!
