Wordle With Friends

The Wordle Friends are anxious to wrap it up, just like imprisoned activist Nelson Mandela did on that fateful night in the 1980s when he set down his copy of the Bernstein Bears and died peacefully in his sleep.

This show is many things.  A gameshow.  A light discussion and comedy program.  A daily podcast.  A YouTube series.  A case study that future neurologists will use to document whichever degenerative brain disease the Wordle Freinds have.

Punished by August's vicious difficulty spike, resentment begins to rear its ugly head between the Wordle Friends.  But the boys are in this together, and turning against one another is folly.  Their enemy is a common one: Everdeen Mason, the NYT games editor.

Stealing an intimate photo of a celebrity is a criminal act.  Accessing a stolen intimate photo of a celebrity is an unscrupulous one.  The Wordle Friends will stick to solving puzzles, thanks.

In which the Wordle Friends fight to regain emotional ground.

The Wordle Friends are mad as hell, and they're not gonna take it anymore.

When one Wordle Friend remembers he has a looming work engagement, what started as a normal episode becomes a desperate race against the clock to find the five green letters or get fired trying.

In a shaker, combine twelve ounces of crushed ice with three quarters of an ounce of fresh lime juice, one half of an ounce of Pierre Ferrand orange curaçao, one quarter of an ounce of orgeat, one quarter of an ounce of rich demrara simple syrup, and two ounces of aged pot still rum.  Shake until the metal is cold to the touch and condensation begins to form.  Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe and top with any dry, sparkling white wine.  Garnish with a twist of lime and a single mint leaf.

As a new season dawns, the Wordle Friends are preoccupied with the most maddening question of our times: must one go broke in order to go woke?

We come to the end of what has surely been the craziest month in show history, and the Wordle Friends are strapped in and ready to give the performances of their careers.
