Wordle #1, March 9th, 2026.
Here is the first game in the series, featuring school-themed mini games such as Wordle—this game—as well as Strands. Starting now, both the Wordle and Strands puzzles will be updated once every two weeks on Monday. This idea was inspired by the mini games from The New York Times as well as similar initiatives previously created by peers.
For the first week, the theme is things you shouldn’t do in school. To play, enter five-letter words into the columns. The colour of each box will indicate whether a letter is in the correct position, in the word but in the wrong position, or not in the word at all.
If you have ideas or questions about puzzles and crosswords, feel free to reach out to me or any of the Beacon members. Have fun!
