Derived from the excellent but a bit outdated game show Lingo, Wordle is the digital version, playable on any web browser, on PC and on mobile. The principle is identical to that of its predecessor, but it is surely not useless to remind the different rules, just after having offered you some clues and the answer of the word of the day.

- The player can only make proposals that are part of the dictionary of the game
- After validating an attempt, the box with a letter in the right place will be filled in green
- The box containing a letter that is part of the word of the day, but which is incorrectly placed, will be filled in yellow
- The "useless" letters as well as the "yellow" and "green" letters are colored on the keyboard below the grid to help the player.

The various lockdowns have had many negative effects on the world's population, but if they are to be credited with anything, it is that they have allowed some creative people to take time to sit back and brainstorm. Among other successes, Wordle appeared in 2021 and inspired some competitors. In France, for example, there are Sutom and Tusmo, which are MOTUS' anagrams (MOTUS being the french version of Lingo).
Recently, SUTOM has been in trouble since a huge TV channel threatened its creator with a lawsuit for a few hours. Social networks proved to be useful and showed the community attachment to their daily game. Waiting for a fate like Wordle, bought by the New York Times for several million dollars?
