When Microsoft founder Bill Gates said he could not start his day without playing this mobile game

Microsoft founder Bill Gates once said that solving the popular word puzzle – Wordle has become a key part of his daily routine. In a 2022 blog post, Gates wrote that he plays it every morning after waking up and “can’t stop playing Wordle”. “I’ve started every day since February or March doing the same thing. Not long after I wake up, I grab my phone or laptop and solve Wordle, the puzzle where you get six chances to guess a five-letter English word,” he said. Bill Gates also shared that he usually solves Wordle in four or five guesses, and once solved all eight Octordle words in 10 tries — but only in practice mode.
