Guessing Game: Practically Flagging

Another day, another puzzle and/or game for your little mind! Meet Wordrow, which is like if Wordle refused to be contained by five letters or even a single word, which means the answer could be literally anything! Put differently, Wordrow is Wordle’s gay cousin.

All the standard Wordle-esque gameplay remains: you guess a word and hit enter, letters are color-coded to indicate their presence/location/lack thereof in the correct answer, and you have up to six chances per word. To help narrow down the vast and near-infinite possibilities, I’ve provided a fairly vague clue in the title! If enough people demand it, I’ll provide another, less vague clue in the comments below! (Honestly if even one person asks, I’ll provide a less vague clue in the comments; I’m very amenable in the wintertime.)

Share your results by slapping the SHARE button in the popup at the end of the game and then pasting them wherever you’d like — such as in the comments, or on a particularly miserable social media platform, or in a group text! And please let us know what you thought of this puzzle! A+ members can also share their thoughts 1:1 using the A+ Priority Contact Box located either in the right sidebar on desktop or a bit below the comments on mobile.

    I had some UX issues starting the game on my iPhone SE. It seemed like my screen wasn’t tall enough to access the start button – I couldn’t scroll down to the start button. I just kept messing around and eventually I got it to work but it was frustrating at first.

  2. So fun and I’m a little sheepish it took me so many guesses!

  3. It took me a minute to figure out how the game works but I caught on pretty quick! Just want to say I love word games and I love Autostraddle so having the two combined is pretty much the best thing ever

  6. Moderately amused that it took me the exact same number of guesses for each word (probably could have gotten the last one in one fewer, wasted that second guess)

  7. This was fun! It took me more tries than it should have because I assumed I wouldn’t get the reference (as a middle-aged lesbian), but I did! Thanks for making it Gen-X dyke-friendly!

  8. I’m loving these autostraddle puzzles!

  12. I thought this was more fun than a wordle! so many more options with different word lengths, and it being a phrase instead of just an out-of-context word was neat!

    ok love this format and puzzle type! it took me a minute thirty seconds, possibly because i did the daily wordle immediately before and had to reorient myself to the concept of a phrase

  22. This was so fun!!!

  23. Omg this is wonderful!! I’m so happy to have a Wordle-adjacent puzzle back on Autostraddle!

    My only quibble is that it took me a few minutes to figure out how the puzzle worked. I thought you had to guess all the words at once, it wasn’t clear enough from the instructions that you could guess one word at a time. So my only suggestion would be add that piece to the instructions.

    Thanks so much for doing this!

  24. I got to learn that clit doesn’t count as a word but dick does — and also that I need to read directions more carefully because I started by guessing entire phrases.

  42. It took me a while, but I really enjoyed this! It is crucial for all online casino gamers to consider the issue of reliability. Given that we are discussing gambling, you must be confident in both your safety and the veracity of the outcomes. We will go into more detail about the licensing and how to pick the finest online casino in a later article at TerraCasino. As a result, Canadian consumers should only select authorized Kahnawake online casinos that offer reputable games and are subject to legal restrictions. The casino is legitimate and reputable because it holds a license from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. In Canada, you may rely on licensed operators with confidence.
