It's either a harmless fun pastime or a plague on your twitter timeline, but it's hard to ignore word game Wordle.
The online puzzle that sees people try to guess the daily five-letter word in six attempts has proved the first big craze of 2022.
And like anything, some people have hit out at others for trying to ruin their fun with spoilers on twitter, where many people share their results.
These spoilers are not always explicit - such as revealing the actual word. But they can have subtle clues, such as saying it has a double-letter, is an American spelling, or other hints.
One recent answer - it's not a spoiler as there are fresh words every day - was KNOLL.
Some people posting their success made hints to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, with of course the link to the 'grassy knoll'.
Others have said they didn't expect an American spelling (the solution was FAVOR).
Rachel Collins on twitter said: "What’s with all the Wordle spoiler nonsense? Stop it! This is why we can’t have nice things."
Brona C Titley said: "The only way we will ever stoke up enough outrage to actually get rid of Boris Johnson, is if he reveals a Wordle spoiler."
Amy Honeybee Forsythe said: "Second consecutive day that I’ve seen a Wordle spoiler on Twitter. I thought this was a safe space."
Others were less fussed.
Sweet Pepper | Thanatos said: "I thought 'wordle spoilers' was a joke but people genuinely care that much about a funny word game???"
While Telegraph film critic Robbie Collin said: "Here’s my position on Wordle spoilers: if you’ve got time to be scrolling through Wordle tweets on here, you’ve got time to be doing the Wordle instead. It’s not as if you have to block out an evening and book a babysitter."
Every day, Wordle sets a fiendish test for wordsmiths to guess a five-letter word in six attempts.
If you get a letter in the right place, the tile turns green. If it's a letter in the word but in the wrong place, it turns yellow. If it's not in the word, it goes grey.
The game, the brainchild of American software engineer Josh Wardle for his partner, Palak Shah, who are both word fans, has delighted millions of users on both sides of the Atlantic.
