It didn't take long for Wordle, the internet's latest obsession, to turn into a meme. "Not Wordle" is the latest Twitter trend that pokes fun at our collective compulsion to post our Wordle results on the timeline.
Wordle is a daily word game that involves guessing a five-letter word. It sounds simple, but there are some basic things you need to know: When you get a letter right the square turns green; if the letter is in the word but in the wrong place, it turns yellow; and if the letter isn't in the word at all, it turns dark gray. So in order to post your results without spoiling anyone, you're essentially sharing a 5-by-5 grid of green, yellow, and gray squares onto your timeline. The pattern is determined by your guesses.
Twitter quickly became obsessed with the game due to its low commitment and shareability, and now the yellow, green, and gray grids are inescapable on the app.
That's where this new meme comes in: People are now posting grids of different colored squares with the text "not Wordle," followed by what their grid of squares represents. It's a classic internet inside joke that requires knowledge of the Wordle craze to fully appreciate its genius.
