What it does
On reveal: If you already have another Games card here, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Games cards roll the dice. Sometimes the dice roll you.
The site, in 2022
Josh Wardle's daily word game: everyone gets the same five-letter word and six tries, with green and yellow tiles showing how close each guess is.
Wardle made it for himself and his partner, Palak Shah, who trimmed its word list to words she knew. A shareable grid of coloured squares made it a viral hit, and it was played 4.8 billion times in 2023.
In 2022: Players went from about 300,000 on 2 January to over 2 million a week later; The New York Times bought it on 31 January.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
Meme Machine: Where the jokes everyone repeated got started.
