It's Tuesday, it's Bonus Dose day, and unlike last week we're being selfish, this one's just for you! This week, we're talking about Wordle. You play it, or your friends play it and you hate them because they keep posting those green and yellow squares in your feed. Either way, you probably have an opinion on the game, even if you don't know what the game is! Here's the video description, enjoy!
Buckley explores the viral phenomenon of Wordle, the daily "guess what 5-letter word I'm thinking of in 6 tries" game. From people being annoyed by their friends posting the coded results, to people being annoyed by the New York Times buying the game and "making it harder" (which they didn't), we look at what made this so popular and why any perceived change will upset players.
