Yes, my younger sister plays wordle and we send each other our results. We normally exchange a few messages off the back of it while previously we communicated more sporadically. It's been a nice part of my daily routine, but I'm not sure if I'd play as regularly if it wasn't for that.
Nah. I stopped playing after the web app that I saved on my iPhone’s Home Screen stopped working shortly after the NYT takeover. Actually, I think it still ‘worked’ but it changed to not be as minimalistic as the original Wordle web app and it lost my progress so I just dropped it. No hard feelings, I had fun with the game while it lasted.
