    I don't think it should be censored here but it is a sexist term. It is never used in a positive way. The publishing industry is female dominated. Imagine that during the recent co…

    For me, a big part of Wordle’s success was its share text. It shows exactly how you played the game without giving away the puzzle. It also gives a really simple score x/6 which al…
