How to Play Wordle Whirl

- A group of friends (ideally 3-6 players)
Game Rules
- Set Up the Game:
- Start by opening the Wordle game on your device. Make sure everyone can see the screen.
- Decide on the Drinking Cues:
- Before the game begins, agree on specific cues that will prompt players to take a sip. Here are some suggestions:
- Incorrect Guess: Everyone takes a sip each time an incorrect letter is guessed.
- Correct Letter, Wrong Position: The guesser takes a sip for each letter that is in the wrong position but is correct.
- Correct Position: The guesser nominates someone else to take a sip for each letter correctly positioned.
- Before the game begins, agree on specific cues that will prompt players to take a sip. Here are some suggestions:
- Playing the Game:
- A player begins by guessing a five-letter word. They enter the word into Wordle and submit it.
- Based on the feedback from Wordle (correct or incorrect letters/positions), the drinking cues determine who takes a sip.
- Continue taking turns guessing words until the correct word is found, or all six attempts are used.
- Celebrate or Commemorate:
- If a player successfully guesses the Wordle word, they can choose someone to finish their drink. If the word is not guessed within six attempts, everyone finishes their drink.
- Repeat:
- Start a new round with a different player guessing first, and continue the fun!
