Wordle: A New Mind Puzzle

Students in their Speech and Debate class discuss the possible word for Wordle, a new word-guessing game. Recently bought by The New York Times, Wordle gives each player six tries to guess the word of the day. One of the coaches of Speech and Debate, Mr. Ronne, explained that by playing this game, students not only broaden their vocabulary but learn how to think creatively by observing the same situation from different angles--part of what the program focuses on.
