Wordle enthusiasts woke up to face one of its fiercest riddles yet: a five-letter word with the answer hiding in plain sight as JEWEL. The unique combination of a repeated vowel and less common letter J had players scratching their heads. But what exactly happened?

The Day Wordle Drove Us Bananas

Today's brain teaser wasn't your typical word stew, and everyone and their grandma decided to hit the search bar for hints. Hosted by the New York Times, Wordle has become a cherished morning ritual.
