So what is all the hype about the game, Wordle? Why is it so popular among English speakers? What about The New York Times‘ acquisition of the game? And how has the COVID-19 pandemic affected people’s sense of community and loneliness? I decided to do a little research on my own regarding Wordle and its influence in the U.S. (especially on Twitter).

I’m not a big fan of Wordle myself, but I can’t deny that its influence on U.S. society, the Twitter-sphere, and people’s sense of online community is fascinating to look at. Check out episode 4 of my podcast to learn more about my findings regarding this infamous game.
