Wordel words "Wordel" is a phenomenon sweeping the United States

واشنطن: استأثرت لعبة "ووردل" على اهتمام عدد كبير من مستخدمي الشبكات الاجتماعية، وسُجّل إقبال واسع عليها في الأسابيع الأخيرة، وهي تقوم على مبدأ بسيط، يتمثل في اكتشاف كلمة كل يوم من خمسة أحرف، وبحد أقصى هو ست محاولات.

Susan Dropin (65 years old), who plays Wordel, said that she is "wonderful", and she noticed in a statement to Agence France -Presse that she made the player "addicted to it."

The retired woman who lives in Maryland on the eastern coast of the United States explains that the game "takes only a few minutes", describing it as "a cute entertainment and short duration."

The New York Times reported that the number of those trying to find a word today increased from 90 people on the first of November to more than 300 thousand after two months, on January 2.

The principle of the game appears easy, and is to find the most suitable word of five letters, in a maximum of six attempts.Each letter appears in its right place in green, and if the letter is in its place appears in yellow.

Each player should find one word daily, which is the same for everyone, and if he fails to do so, he can re -try only the next day.

Susan Dropin, who started playing weeks ago, soon joined thousands of "Wordel" amateurs who spread their daily results on social media using the Wordle#, in the form of six lines, each of which includes five colored squares showing the number of attempts by the player to dismantle the puzzle.

What distinguishes "Wordel" is that its designer, a British computer engineer named Josh Wardl, lives in New York, was not intended to sell it to the wide audience, but rather wanted it simply a means of entertainment, and decided not to achieve profits through this game.

Josh Wardel told the New York Times that users "enjoy the presence of this entertaining game online."He reassured that "Wordel" is not submitted to "any matter that raises suspicion regarding the player's personal data."

No ads appear on the site, but some have already tried to copy the principle, and earn money through it.The original game can be found on the following link PowerlandGuage.co.uk/wordle.

Research coordinator at the Gaim Lab Center for Digital Games Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Michael Jacobson said that Wordel helps pass the time, as in "bus waiting" cases, for example.

Jacobson said in an interview with Agence France -Presse that the success of the game is partly due to the ease of publishing his results on social networks.

"You feel proud (after solving the puzzle), and you only need to click on the small button, which allows you to show off a little, which we like to do usually," he said.

As for the psychologist in video games, Rachel Kwire, she considered that the matter falls under the theory of social comparison, in terms of everyone who wants to evaluate himself compared to others.

She considered that "limiting the possibility of playing once a day gives a sense of psychological scarcity."

"This is what makes you want to return and play day after day," she told AFP.

Another feature is that it is accessible to everyone - provided that the user mastered the English language.However, this condition is no longer existing, as copies were quickly provided in other languages, given its wide popularity.

Wordel was finally converted into French and called "Sotom".This name is composed of the letters of the word "Motus" in the opposite direction, and a "Motos" is a well -known TV game that was shown on the channels of the "France TV" group.

On Sutom.NOCLE.FR, the user, as in Wordel, should find a word today in only six attempts.

But Jonathan Magano, who took the task of transferring "Wordel" to "Sotom", explained to Agence France -Presse that he did not want to use all the privacy of the English version.

The three computer engineer "Sotom" was designed in one day.Just four days after the game was launched, the positive results began to appear on the "Sotom" website.

Soon, the number of players' tweets for their results rose from 488 on Monday to about 1300 pm on Tuesday, and the rope on the tractor.
