When Wordle took world by storm a few of us chuckle-heads decided to “take the piss” and poke fun at the crowd obsessive. Oh ho ho, look at us having fun with a BIG TREND!

Apparently I’m the Last Person Still Playing Wordle, by Tom Navratil

You so are not the last person, Tom

We were pikers, though. Diletantes. Dabblers. Holly J. See would teach us all what it means to “commit to the bit.”

None dove into the Wordle-hole with the alacrity of our own Editor Fairy, Holly J See, AKA editor fairy. Possibly the impulse that drives Holly to Grammarly the heck out of MuddyUm pieces — till there’s no heck left at all — is the same impulse that pushed her to see the world through the 5-letter lens. Who am I to say? It’s not my job to take her inventory, and even if it was, it wouldn’t be a complaint because I am obsessed with her obsession. How does she do it? Why? Aside from the fact that it’s, apparently, a good time, I have no idea.

Here are some of Holly J. See’s greatest Wordle hits. We salute you, Holly, for your dogged perseverating.
