Five letters, six attempts to guess a word. Wordle, a new puzzle game on the internet, is based on this simple idea. NPR reports that the creator of Wordle estimates that more than 2.5 million people have played this word game. Every day, the word changes and remains the same for all who play. Each letter correctly guessed brings the player closer to solving the puzzle. It's easy and free, and many players find it addictive.
