Wordle Day, celebrated on May 6, is introduced to honor the popular word game that has become a cultural institution.
The New York Times Wordle Editor Tracy Bennett highlighted the significance of May 6 as it aligns with the game's mechanics of guessing a five-letter word in six attempts.
Wordle has garnered immense popularity with 5.3 billion game plays to date and 2.8 million people using the same starter word daily.
To commemorate Wordle Day, The New York Times introduced Wordle Golf, a competitive game based on the scoring system of golf, providing a new challenge for Wordle enthusiasts.
