But, on the day that Wordle turns 1,000, what have been the hardest Wordles so far?
But I can give you an accurate idea of which games have been the toughest since early 2022.
Technically, Wordle is 1,001 games old, not 1,000, because its first puzzle was #0.
That was a beast of an answer, and one that had a remarkable average score of 6.3.
Yes, that’s the right theaveragewas a fail.
And for that, I salute them.
That’s what the data says, then, but stats only tell half the story.
So here, then, are my own top five Wordles From Hell.
But it remains theonly one of Wordle’s 1,001 games that I failed.
Given that only 2,309 words are in the original answer list, it seems like an odd choice.
It also has two classic ‘Difficult Wordle’ characteristics: a repeated letter and an ER ending.
Coupled with its obscurity as a word, it all proved too much for me.
But the bigger problem is, well, the fact that it’s so colloquial.
Shows what I know…

PARER
The hardest Wordle ever according to WordleBot, and who am I to argue with that?
It was another one that I needed six guesses to solve, and I again nearly failed entirely.
Neither seemed likely, so I rolled a dice to choose between them (really!
), and on that day at least the Wordle gods smiled on me.
GAMER
Before PARER, there was GAMER.
But it deserves its place in my personal nightmares list.
Still, I learned a new word, so it wasn’t all bad.
Let’s see how many more I discover in the next 1,000 games.
