From Words to Bonds: The Unexpected Way Wordle Became Our Family's Heartbeat

It wasn't so long ago, when a colleague and friend of mine Mairead, in a business trip during a break, was spending some time in her mobile with a sardonic smile in her face.

She was reading the messages of her husband requesting her to come back immediately, as he was experiencing a losing streak with the famous wordle puzzle game.

Me and one more colleague Joao caught by surprise. Mairead was coming to our direction and was showing us the screen with the messages, laughing out loud, and injecting the "virus" of a very well established family tradition by simply explaining the rules of the game and challenging us to beat it.
