I’m sure this fact frequently causes someone at the New York Times to wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat, but here’s the harsh truth: Wordle<\/u><\/a> is gonna run out of valid five-letter words sometime in 2027. There just aren’t that many left that haven’t already been used.<\/p>\n

It’s not great news for us, either. What the hell else am I supposed to do for a few minutes every morning: exercise, enrich myself with literature, or have a conversation with a loved one?<\/p>\n

At least there’s a little brightness in our grim future. Fast-forward from 2027 to the year 2077, and it looks like we’ll still be able to play a bit of Wordle between our visits to the ripperdoc for some new chrome.<\/p>\n

It’s all thanks to a mod by MisterChedda called Gonkle<\/a> for Cyberpunk 2077 (via RPS<\/a>), which gives you a suspiciously Wordle-like word game for you to play on your in-game phone. And even better, it’s not so strict on the words you can use, fully embracing all that gritty and silly Night City slang. Choom isn’t just a cool thing to call your buddy, it’s also an answer in Gonkle.<\/p>\n
