New England apparently has the biggest Wordle cheaters. Are you among them?
We want to hear your worst Wordle confessions.
You may have heard that the city of Malden, Mass. ranks fifth in the nation when it comes to Wordle scores. But is it possible they’re just among the best cheaters? Ha, we kid our friends in Malden! Of course they are.
But don’t just take our word for it. According to a recent Google Trends study conducted by WordFinderX, New England is basically the cheating capitol of the U.S. when it comes to the viral online word game (recently purchased by the New York Times).
Aside from a No. 4 finish by Washington D.C., New England states take up five of the top six slots in the list of U.S. Wordle cheaters:
- New Hampshire
- Rhode Island (tied)
- Vermont (tied)
- Washington, D.C.
- Massachusetts
- Maine
To which we can only ask: Wherefore art thou, Connecticut? (At No. 7 is our guess.)
Wordle-ing:
Making matters worse is that, according to the study, most are heading to Google to search for “today’s Wordle” between 7 and 8 a.m. At least spend a few hours trying to solve it when you’re supposed to be working, people! That’s the American way.
In our defense, we’re very busy living our fast-paced New England lives up here — we’re not just sitting on our porches drinking mint juleps and not looking up the Wordle answer, like they do in the South. If we don’t have that elusive five-letter word in three minutes we’ve got to look it up and get on with things already. (Apparently.)
But maybe we (and Google) have misjudged the New England Wordle community. Answer our poll below about your own Wordle-ing habits and we’ll report your responses in a future article. (No cheating!)
Be civil. Be kind.
