wordler

noun

1. A player of the web-based word game Wordle.

   “This week, I thought I would help out my fellow Wordlers by providing you with every five-letter word related to wine.”

   “Yet Wordle will soon take its place alongside Spelling Bee, the daily crossword and other Times puzzles because Wardle did something thoughtful for someone he loved. How cool is that? We couldn’t tell you whether Bruce Chalmer and Judy Alexander (pictured) are Wordlers. But, given the name of their podcast, “couples therapy in seven words,” it wouldn’t surprise us if the South Burlington spouses enjoyed a good word game.”

   ““The wordle word today was caulk,” wrote one baffled Wordler. “I had to look up words with aul in the middle. Ahh how the hell was I supposed to know the word was caulk? Smh anyway another word added to my vocabulary.””

   “For many American Wordlers, part of the craze is sharing daily scores with friends, family, and other colleagues.”

   “In times that can seem scary and bleak, Wordle is a vivid bright light. It eases us toward peace, and when we solve, we shush so we don’t spoil the quest for others. It can bring out a sense of pride and unity with other Wordlers.”
