I will readily admit I'm a sore loser. As anyone who's played Scrabble, or FIFA, or Mario Kart with me will attest, I like to win, and I get grumpy when I don't. I also take my daily Wordle instalment far too seriously. But even so, today's Wordle really hacked me off.
In one sense, I didn't lose: I solved it in 5/6, and without using any Wordle hints. But a score of 5 is very low for me, and indeed it was below the average for today's game of 4.7, as reported by the New York Times' official AI helper tool, WordleBot. That annoys me.
