Dear Wordle

Dear Wordle,

My friend introduced me to you yesterday. It was love at first word. I’m hoping you feel the same way.

Dear Wordle,

It’s been a week and you’re all I think of. Before I even open my eyes in the morning, I whisper your name,“Wordle.” 

What am I doing? 

You’ve made it clear that this is an open relationship.

I’m such a fool.

Dear Wordle,

Everyone had trouble with “CYNIC,” but not me. I love that we both share an affinity for consonant clusters. Isn’t that what a healthy relationship is based on?

Dear Wordle,

“TACIT?”

I think we’re about to have our first fight.

Dear Wordle,

Yesterday, I guessed “AROMA” on the second round and you told me I was “Magnificent!” I was on Cloud Nine until my neighbor, Connie, said you told her she was also “Magnificent.”

How many others did you say that too?

Never mind, I don’t want to know.

Dear Wordle,

When you say, “Great,” you and I both know that five rounds are NOT great. I can sense the rolling of the eyes, the sarcastic tone. I thought our relationship was built on honesty. I guess I was wrong.

Dear Wordle,

I told my therapist about you and how I was afraid I might be in a codependent relationship.

My therapist corrected me. “Dependent. You’re in a dependent relationship.”

Dear Wordle,

Connie got “THEIR” on the first try and she’s telling everyone that you said she’s a “Genius.” She thinks she’s better than me. 

Thanks a lot, Wordle.

Dear Wordle,

I dreamed about you last night. In the dream, the adjective “Splendid” had been changed to “Mediocre,” and “Great” was now “Blunder.” I think the dream signifies that we need more transparency. Also, I may be obsessed with you.

PS: Do you dream about me?

Dear Wordle,

“SHAWL?!” You just did “SHALL” 3 days ago. 

It feels as if I’m the only one working in this relationship.

Dear Wordle,

As you know, Connie uses the same two starter words every day, while I’m always coming up with new words to keep our relationship F-R-E-S-H! But she’s doing better than I am! Why are you rewarding laziness? I thought we shared the same values.

Dear Wordle,

I guessed “Moray” instead of “Foray.” It’s like you want to hurt me.

Dear Wordle,

Tomorrow is our 2-month anniversary. It’s been a long time since I was “Magnificent,” and I’ve never been “Genius,” so maybe you can T-H-I-N-K about a special word for me tomorrow. 

Dear Wordle,

Oh, the SHAME! 

I can’t believe that’s what you chose for our anniversary word. It’s clear that you’re obviously ashamed of me. Or, you want to shame me. Or, our relationship is filled with shame. 

As I kept plugging in words (Shade, Shake, Shape) like some simpleton, I thought to myself, surely you wouldn’t WordleShame me. 

But apparently our 59 days together meant nothing.

It’s over, Wordle. 

I deserve more.

Dear Quordle…
