You know, you think once you reach a certain skill set, you can keep those skills if you keep on practicing. I don’t know how I became so much worse at Wordle while still playing it everyday. If I had to guess, maybe it was putting it on “hard mode,” or maybe it was checking my skill level after every game. My old starters of “irate” and then “cloud” weren’t going to cut it anymore. I started every game with “slate” as Wordlebot told me to, but (shocker) it was a lot harder. Eventually I decided that I have an IEP, so I should be allowed extra guesses. I would open a private tab and make my extra guesses there. Cheating? Sure, but it’s not like I’m playing against anyone (don’t worry Jayden, I would only send you my stats that I did without this trick… mostly).
I can’t even describe how much Wordle would stress me out. Or maybe I can because it wasn’t that bad, it was just something that probably shouldn’t have given me any anxiety. I now go back and forth from the normal setting to the difficult one, but I still stress about it. WHY? Literally why? I’m not playing against anyone, nor showing anyone my results! Maybe one day this ball of anxiety floating inside me will get pulled out by an evil sea witch while I’m singing. That’s how I picture it will happen.
