WeWordle Is the Multiplayer Wordle That Is Currently Stressing Me Out - Lifehacker Australia

If you’re the competitive type and simply texting your dad and friend group your Wordle score first thing in the morning isn’t doing it for you, you can try the newest iteration in the Wordle copycat universe: WeWordle.

WeWordle lets you compete with others online — reminiscent of the olden days of Words with Friends, except with the added stressor of a super short time limit of fifteen seconds per turn.

There have been many Wordle knockoffs or homages, some more amazing than others, and really, it’s all a matter of taste.

Like regular Wordle, you have six tries total to guess a five-letter word.

Also the same: If you guess a correct letter and placement, it turns green; if you guess a correct letter in the wrong spot, it’s yellow; and if you guess a wrong letter, it’s grey.

The major pros of WeWordle are that, for true Wordle addicts, you can play again and again against random opponents.

This is kind of like when you yell, “GO!” at your significant other and play Wordle at the same time on your independent phones except you’re playing on the same board with the same game.

The major con of this game, to me, is the time limit.

I play Wordle either really quickly or really slowly with no in-between.

With regular Wordle, I almost never lose.

But in WeWordle, fifteen seconds is not enough time for me, and the timer ticking in front of me does something to my brain to make it stop working completely.

I suck at WeWordle and, like any burned-out gifted and talented elder millennial, I don’t like what I can’t win and therefore, vow to never play WeWordle again — except one more time really quickly to see if I can win this time.
