**Wordle players faced a challenging puzzle on Monday, with many reporting difficulty solving the word “indie.”** A blogger who analyzes their Wordle attempts using Wordle Bot detailed their experience, revealing a struggle to narrow down the possibilities despite using helpful strategies.
The blogger initially tried “SOLAR,” receiving no correct letters, followed by “CHIME,” which revealed some vowels and reduced the remaining possibilities to just seven words. A guess of “BINGE” then narrowed the options to “INDIE” and “UNTIE,” leading to the correct solution: **INDIE.** While the blogger ultimately solved the puzzle, they were bested by the Wordle Bot, which solved it in three tries.
The blog post also included a hint (“Not part of a big studio or label”) and a clue (“This Wordle has a double letter”) for those who needed assistance. The post concludes with a discussion of the word “indie” and its origins, highlighting its use to describe independent entities in various creative industries.
