### 5/5 — WURDLE is “wurth” it!

*2023-05-05*

Stimulating and fun. Definitely more challenging and interesting than regular Wordle. 

Each of three modes makes you think about words in a different way.

Feel like racing? UNCHILL mode is specifically for you. You’ve got to think fast and furiously. No time to use the dictionary. The clock is ticking! 

Do you like to think backwards and/or spend a long time pondering while possibly standing on your head? The ELDRUW mode might be just your cup of tea. That’s WURDLE spelled backwards. You start with the final word and work your way backwards. There are prompts, so feedback is available, thank you, and you have three tries to check your work as you go along. 

And if you just want to relax, then CHILL mode is for you. Take your time, smile, have a cup of coffee, talk story with friends. Unwind and enjoy. 

Do all three modes first thing in the morning? Definitely, if that’s your choice. Or you can spread out the menu choices - like three meals a day - breakfast lunch and dinner.

WURDLE - it’s “wurth” your time!

### 1/5 — Zero CHILL

*2023-04-18*

I don’t understand what happened to the CHILL option of this game (the original style) - I had it on my previous phone the other day, and when I had to get a new phone I downloaded this again and I’m very disappointed to see that there is no way to just play the simple, straightforward version of this game.

Why does it have “CHILL” in the title if that’s not even an option??!

### 5/5 — A Nice Challenge

*2023-02-16, version 1.2.2*

This games exercises the mind.  The only issue, selfishly, is that it only comes out once daily.  Maybe one in the AM, then one in the PM?

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2023-01-19, version 1.2.2*

After the latest update, I only have the backwards game. Where is the regular game and the timed game? I have no interest in the backward game.

### 1/5 — Eldruw

*2022-12-01, version 1.2.2*

I really liked this at first, but it doesn’t follow its own rules.  It tells you, you are not allowed to play a certain letter in a certain place but the answer has that letter in that place. It is just stupid and frustrating.

### 5/5 — Just fun

*2022-11-10, version 1.2.2*

Keeps me going on a daily routine.

### 5/5 — Wurdle plus 2 other games and no advertisements

*2022-10-16, version 1.2.2*

Wurdle is fun and solvable. The 2nd game Chill is 5 Wurdles in timed mode so it’s much harder but fun once you get used to the speed. The Chill scores in percentages of how many are solved.  Eldruw is a Wurdle partially solved, with some letters available for each blank. Eldruw’s dictionary of allowed words is small so 
the trick is to solve it many times, eventually hopefully guessing the correct words: less skill, more a test of persistence. This App is free and without Ads. It plays flawlessly; no glitches.

### 5/5 — How to unlock chill mode….

*2022-10-09, version 1.2.2*

If you go into settings and rapidly tap the snowflake, it unlocks the mode that is just like NY Times wordle!

### 5/5 — Double letters

*2022-09-20, version 1.2.2*

Its a love hate relationship when double letters are involved

### 5/5 — How to get to chill

*2022-09-17, version 1.2.2*

My wife has this app and plays chill, I downloaded it and I can’t get to chill. Only have backward games. How can I get chill?
