Bedlam in the Wordle World this week. First we had GAMUT which had some people frothing at the mouth and being extremely abusive because “it was a word they had never heard of and was therefore unfair”.  Oh you poor things! But far worse was CORER which sent the same sort of ignorant idiots into full-blown insane meltdown. Being the third hardest word ever (out of over 1200 games) meant that many lost their winning streaks and they were not happy. But the main complaint that “they didn’t even know that it was a word” holds little water as this is just a common kitchen implement that most people probably own. Oddly enough, the hardest Wordle word of all (so far) was PARER* another common kitchen implement. If you can’t stand the heat then get out of the kitchen! Or go crying to your MUMMY (the second hardest ever Wordle word).

*CORER and PARER are hard not because the words are “unknown” but because they are very similar to a lot of other words which people end up guessing first. Words ending in ER are dangerous and good Wordle players know ways to deal with them.
