Wordle Free Form Poems -- Wordlit -- Updated!

As usual I have the idea from somewhere else. Anne E.G. Nydam of Black and White has, like me and many, many other, played Wordle for some time. Now she got the idea of making the Wordle into a free-form poem, or maybe a short-short story. You can go to her blog and be inspired too. I did, and then made this mock-up.

How to play - it's  something like MasterMind, only with words. I can't explain it better than Worlde does:

And one rule, they do not tell here: A letter CAN be used more than once!


And this one is cheating - made in a DTP program:

  If you knew the Wordle solution beforehand, you could make those poems for real, but this would of course defeat the purpose of Wordle. 
  Anne E.G. Nydam calls these shorties Wordlits - a portmanteaux of Wordle and literature.

  And I found a new way of doing exactly this. Open Wordle in another browser.
  I could not make a poem, Shortie or Wordlit out of today's solution, so I made a riddle.

Guess a song:

My solution will be in the comments tomorrow as I post this one minute to midnight, which is also one minute before the new Wordle will go live according to the countdown on the page.


You can also click "Share" once you've solved today's Wordle and get a pattern with the letters removed to share on social media. My Wordle today looks like this:

It is Wordle number 391 ever and I solved it in 5 out of 6 tries. The two yellow and the one green square shows the letters I've found. 3 different, yet the solution was 98% guesswork 1% luck and 1% inspiration. I don't know if today's solution will lend itself to a Wordlit.
