> [@meep](#): > > wordle Speaking of which…I saw your posts on twitter(?) extolling the inordinate fun you’re having playing this game, so I searched for it in the Apple App Store (or for the French, Apple App le Store). I didn’t see any thing that made me say, “Ah. This is the ‘official’ app right here.” So, I didn’t download anything. Today, in the wsj, I read [this](https://archive.ph/JNTAR), and now I know why.
