The vice president discussed her love for the online game designed by Welsh-born Josh Wardle in an interview with Ringer. “I have 100%,” he said, “and I intend to keep it that way.” She also said that her winning streak was only 48, because “she ruined it when she was transferred to the New York Times”. Wardle designed Wordle for his partner. The Times bought it in January for a “low seven-digit” price. Wordle players have six chances to guess a word with five letters a day, colored squares indicating letters in the right slot or contained in the word elsewhere. Harris said she made an average of four guesses and started each day with the same word: “Notes. NOTES. ” He added: “I think you should have a healthy mix of consonants and vowels and a lot of words come with S. For example, today there was an S and an E, I think.” Harris was speaking on Friday when the word of the day was “shame”. The vice-president said that sometimes he played while traveling and “he had to play it when I was in Poland”. Harris visited Poland in March to bolster US allies in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. “But we’ll not talk about it, right?” he said. Wordle, Harris said, “is like a brain cleaner. So they are in the middle of very long days, continuous meetings on many intense issues. “If I have a break, let’s say people are late or my 25 minutes for lunch, sometimes while eating I will understand Wordle.” She also said she tried to turn her staff – a body subject to eternal reports of drama and resentment – into the game. “Some of them know that,” he said. “Some of them laugh at it because they did not know I knew it and that I was playing it. So it was really funny. And then there are others who, you know, I said, in a moment of stress, “Maybe you should learn how to play Wordle.” Harris also said that her staff was very competitive in the game, but “what I like about my team is that they do not tell each other”. The vice president, however, is not competing with anyone other than her husband, Doug Emhoff, because she can not share her results as a regular user. “My phone does not allow me to text anyone,” Harris said. “Something sad.” Harris praised the “smart design” of the game, which she said offered her “a nice kind of palate cleaning in the middle of many other things”. Asked if she had examples of stressful moments in which Wordle came to the rescue, Harris said: “They are all sorted. Sorry.”
