By now, you’re probably familiar with Wordle, the once-a-day word guessing game that has captured the hearts of many on social media.
There are also a whole bunch of really awesome and hilarious Wordle alternatives out there for anyone looking to get their fix before the next word drops. But did you know there’s a hockey version of Wordle, called Gordle, that’s perfect for any Wordle-loving NHL fan?
Instead of guessing words, Gordle is about guessing the last names of hockey players. Five-lettered last names, to be precise, much like Wordle with five-lettered words. First conceived on a podcast, Gordle has taken off in a big way in hockey circles for being a fun, but surprisingly challenging knockoff of Wordle.
Why is it so difficult? In Gordle, you can only guess five-letter last names of hockey players, meaning you can’t just enter random words to get you closer to the answer.
