NBC just announced that they are launching a new game show based on Wordle, the popular word puzzle from The New York Times. Long before it was heading for primetime, I delighted in the daily 5-letter puzzle while strategizing the best starting word — ocean, adieu, house — and hoping I'd solve it efficiently and keep my daily streak going. Each guess is an act of faith, believing the right word is waiting to be solved successfully. But the real ritual that's mattered most to me has nothing to do with guessing five letters; it's the daily Wordle text thread I've kept with my mom.
