I went to a party where the average age was 60yos.
I never even heard of Wordle until the old folks spent an hour talking about it and sharing strategies.
So I equate Wordle to "old people games" like Sudoku, crosswords, and all those freemium iPhone puzzle games. (Not that there's anything wrong with that)
Wordle became very popular among the Twitterrati. It blew up there because of the way you could share your result without spoiling the answer. The average Twitter user back then wasn’t that old.

I don't even know if I play it. It's a double blind experiment I'm involved in

Wordle evolves into Crossword.

Aw man, I bet it turns out all along I'm just training AI. Why not? What a valuable asset I am. I bet I'll end up paying for myself later

Ah, I see you're in the control group that doesn't talk to girls.

boy kissing is a serious scientific field. If they get distracted by girls they might get cooties.

I'm in my 20s and I feel personally attacked.

There's nothing wrong with bonding with old people and playing the games they like

Eh I play them alone and not too often. I was introduced to sudoku in elementary school and crosswords even earlier so to me it's just natural.

All of my friends (who are all in their late 20s) play Wordle, so I don't know how accurate that is.

Isn't it just Scrabble? I thought it was like the new Words With Friends.

No, it's a daily five letter word puzzle. NYT acquired it

Hey guys, I’m a huge fan of Wordle — I even made my own Wordle-style game. It’s just so addictive!
