If you played Wordle religiously through 2022, you might remember one particularly rough day’s answer: Parer.
This turned out to be the most difficult word of the year, in part thanks to its use of a recurring ‘r’, but a GDC talk yesterday from Zoe Bell, the New York Times’ executive producer of games, revealed it broke a particularly whopping amount of streaks.
Typically, Bell explained, showing a chart that tracked players’ streak breaks over time, “15 percent of people break their streak on a given day – except that one day, with ‘parer’, where almost 60 percent of people broke their streak.”
