The Creator of Wordle Just Came Out With a New Game, and It’s Difficult
“Cryptic crosswords, on the other hand, treat each clue as its own puzzle. Instead of straightforward definitions, the clues rely on wordplay that hints at the answer. The rules can be tricky to explain, and there are many different ways a clue can be constructed.”
Yes, not so easy as just plugging letters in or looking for patterns of letters. This requires a lot more thought. Still I started out with hit-and-miss until I got used to Wordle. It's like a new muscle that one must exercise a bit.
The tutorial examples were not too difficult, but they were mostly three word combinations. The daily puzzle for today is 6 words which must be reduced to 8 letters for a word that relates to “slant”. But even if you think you know what the word is, you still have to manipulate the 6 words with the transformations, to arrive at the correct word. This is a whole different kettle of fish.
This really makes the old concise crossword look like child's play.
