As Wordle-mania sweeps the internet, programmers, math geeks and assorted nerds decided to get in on the fun — and they’ve unlocked an explosion of creativity. Every day the https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/ gives players six chances to guess a five-letter word — each time highlighting their correctly-guessed letters (and those correct letters which are also in the correct position).

And then a London-based data scientist/physicist, https://twitter.com/richardajmann (along with Imogen Mann) had an idea for a version where instead of letters, players guess the numbers and operators in a mathematical equation.

Earlier this week in Norwich, England, an 18-year-old programmer named https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-livesey-01742b1ba/ created https://jamesl.me/bytle/, a game where players try to guess — can you believe it?

My new game is trying to create words and intentionally avoid the correct word in order to make patterns.
