It\u2019s a pleasant enough game (not new), but the interesting thing is how and why it became a fad, and that doesn\u2019t really have anything to do with Words as such. Or stuff. Maybe stuff. Anyway, it\u2019s a word-related fad, and maybe all y\u2019all have something interesting to say about it.\r\n<p>I will add that as with every fad, there has been related stuff, jokes and riffs and parodies and whatnot. Some of those include <a href=\"https:\/\/qntm.org\/files\/wordle\/index.html\">Absurdle<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lewdlegame.com\/\">Lewdle<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/queerdle.com\/\">Queerdle<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/edjefferson.com\/letterle\/\">Letterle<\/a>.
