I missed many games then came back after a long break. I’m only at 949 games. I think I was one of the firsts ever in this thread, over 3 years ago. I’ll keep playing, for a while. Added — I found it. I knew I had the link in my Wordle notes. It was back on Christmas Eve, 2021. @Briny_Deep first posted about the game, then @Icarus posted second and I was third. That game number was **Wordle 188**. Two days later I used spoiler tags for the first time ever on this board. ➜ ["Wordle," a strangely compelling word game (Part 1) - #3 by Bullitt](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wordle-a-strangely-compelling-word-game-part-1/956604/3) ■ ➜ ["Wordle," a strangely compelling word game (Part 1) - #35 by Bullitt](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wordle-a-strangely-compelling-word-game-part-1/956604/35) ■ --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wordle-a-strangely-compelling-word-game-part-3/1010451)._
