Entertainment puzzles UK vs US
Wednesday’s ‘American’ Wordle solution had the Brits sharing some four-letter words – and we don’t mean ‘Cool!’
If you’re someone who lives where the spelling of English isn’t the U.S. version, Wednesday’s Wordle – the word game invented by a US-dwellng Welsh man – might have had you reaching for the swear box.
Now, before any Midlanders come for us, we know you say “Mom” and “Mommy”, but – let’s face it – you’re in the minority. We could have written this post yesterday, but we’re not Barbarians. We respect the rules of ‘no spoilers for daily puzzles’.
Miffed Brits took to social media to vent after having their streaks destroyed. Some of them got a little NSFW – or a lot.

Didn't get wordle. Nor do I have any regrets.

An American word that no Brit would ever use causes the streak to fall at 202. A moment of silence, please. #Wordle 1,208 X/6
