Cheating on Wordle is at an all-time high, and according to a new study, Washingtonians are some of the worst offenders.
Could Wordle — the simple yet wildly popular five-letter word game — be putting DC’s brainpower to shame? According to a newby WordFinderX, it is. Cheating on Wordle is at an all-time high, according to the study, and Washingtonians are some of the worst offenders.
If you have somehow escaped the Wordle craze and don’t know how it works, users have six attempts to guess each day’s secret word, but for some DC players, that’s proven a bit too challenging. In the lineup of guilty parties, the District ranks fourth when reviewing data from Google Trends for the search “today’s Wordle”—which, yes, could be how some find the game but also leads to sites that reveal the word of the day.
Still, that doesn’t explain why Wordle deceit ranks so high in DC. Could it be that the city attracts bookish logophiles and is simply home to more Wordlers? Could it be that the city attracts large egos who will do anything to improve their stats and keep streaks alive? Or could it be that word games just aren’t the city’s strong suit?
Regardless of the reason, WordFinderX reported that Wordle cheaters were most likely to look up the answer between 7 and 8 a.m. So, on your next morning commute, take a look around you—there could be a Wordle cheater in your midst. * This story has been corrected since its original posting.
