Wordle-Ku

Having fun in our Wordle chat thread

How we got here.

Step 1: Wordle’s color palette of grey, green, and yellow suggested Japanese scroll paintings of mist on green mountains. That, in turn, inspired haiku

Step 2: it occurred to me to extend the rules so that instead of 5/7/5 syllables, the syllable count should be determined by the number of correct letters in each line.

Step 3: Laura added a rule for lines with no correct letters. The word for that line should be nothing, nowhere, emptiness, blank, or something similar.

An example with some guidelines

The word was NIGHT

Commentary: you have to be careful if you reference the actual word to avoid making it too much of a clue…or post it after everyone else. But bonus points nonetheless.
