  The New York Times deciding that everyone's day needed a *little* more stress by upping the Wordle stakes.

  I’m going to be brave and say this. Since switching to New York Times, Wordle has been too hard.
  
  I don’t play this game for hard, I play for FUN

  Ok that wordle was TOO hard. They should’ve never let the New York Times buy it because it’s not even fun anymore

  @nytimes Leave it to the word snobs at the New York Times to ruin Wordle. Wordle is everyman's word game. Super hard words are not the menu. This is not the Sunday crossword puzzle.
