Wordle-Inspired Sip and Spell Challenge

Welcome to a delightful twist on the classic word game, Wordle, where we’ve infused a splash of spirited fun to create the ultimate social experience. Introducing the “Sip and Spell Challenge,” a drinking game inspired by the global Wordle craze. Gather your friends, grab your favorite drinks, and prepare for an evening of laughter and wordplay.

What You’ll Need

  • A device with internet access (laptop, tablet, or smartphone)
  • Wordle game access - Play Wordle here
  • Drinks of your choice
  • Friends ready to have fun

How to Play

Setup

  1. Choose a Wordle Master: Each round, one person will act as the Wordle Master. This person will set up the Wordle game and be the sole player interacting with the device.

  2. Gather the Players: The rest of the group are the Guessers, who will collaboratively suggest words and make guesses.

  3. Prepare the Drinks: Each person should have their drink of choice within reach.

Game Rules

  1. Start the Game: The Wordle Master opens the game on their device, ready to receive input from the Guessers.

  2. Make a Guess: The Guessers collectively decide on a five-letter word to guess. The Wordle Master types it into the game.

  3. Drink for Mistakes: For each incorrect letter (gray), all Guessers take a sip of their drink. If a letter is correct but in the wrong position (yellow), only the person who suggested that word takes a sip. If a letter is correct and in the right position (green), no one drinks.

  4. Celebrate Success: If the word is guessed correctly before the six attempts are up, all players raise their glasses and take a celebratory sip.

  5. Consequence for Failures: If the word is not guessed within the given attempts, the Wordle Master chooses a fun consequence for all Guessers, such as telling a joke or doing a silly dance.

  6. Rotate Roles: Rotate the role of Wordle Master after each round to give everyone a chance to lead the game.

Tips for a Great Game Night

  • Pace Yourself: Remember, the goal is fun, not inebriation. Encourage responsible drinking.
  • Encourage Creativity: Let players suggest wild and creative words. It adds to the fun and might lead to unexpected victories.
  • Mix It Up: Challenge your friends with themed rounds, like only using animal names or words starting with a specific letter.
