Notes on a Wordle: Kamala Harris describes love for online word game

Views: 0

Kamala Harris plays Wordle as a “brain cleanser” between official duties and has never failed to guess the five-letter word of the day, but cannot share successes with friends because her official phone does not let her send text messages.

The vice-president discussed her love for the online game designed by Welsh-born Josh Wardle in an interview with the Ringer.

“I have 100%,” she said, “and I intend to keep it that way.”

She also said her winning streak was just 48, because “it got messed up when it got moved over to the New York Times”.

Wardle designed Wordle for his partner. The Times bought it in January for a price “in the low seven figures”.

Players of Wordle are given six chances to guess one five-letter word a day, coloured squares indicating letters in the right slot or contained in the word elsewhere.

Harris said she averaged four guesses and started with the same word every day: “Notes. N-O-T-E-S.”

She added: “I think that you have to have a healthy mix of consonants and vowels, and a lot of words come with an S. For example, today there was an S and an E, I believe.”

Harris was speaking on Friday, when the word of the day was “shame”.

The vice-president said she sometimes played while traveling, and “must have played it when I was in Poland”.
