The game has done what so few games have done: It has captured our collective imagination, and brought us all a little closer together. “If you’re like me, you probably wake up every morning thinking about Wordle, and savoring those precious moments of discovery, surprise and accomplishment. Now, the puzzle has millions of daily players. Nearly two months later, 300,000 people played it.
