You may have already stumbled across Twitter with a cryptic post from a friend with a diagram of multiple rows of 5 colored squares in each. It’s usually accompanied by a comment like “That was easy” or “Oh my God, I worked so hard to fix it!”
Welcome to addiction Word, a A simple word game that has become a phenomenon on Twitter.
Released by Power Language – which is not a company name, but the nickname of developer Josh Wardle, who lives in Brooklyn, New York. The name of the game is a combination of your nickname with the word “word” in English.
In the game, you have six attempts to get into a secret English language of only five letters.
As you submit your guesses, the game draws the letters of your word. If the background turns green, then this letter and its position are correct. If it turns yellow, it’s because you got the letter right, but not its position in the word.
It’s this color scheme that can be replicated on Twitter with a simple copy and paste command.
The fun of the game is that it only provides one word per day. Therefore, players end up ‘continuing’ and coming back every day – creating a habit that reinforces ‘addiction’.
