Mindful Wordle

The word game Wordle has nearly become a verb, it has become so common. Kids are playing it at school, improving their spelling and reasoning skills. Math versions are common. Families play it together. In my home, we have played it on phones, laptops, the chalkboard, on paper, even the shower. It is a way to connect with others, and bring mindfulness and fun to our days.

Here’s my own Mindful wordle:

You can always of course just use a chalkboard, dry erase board, or a sheet of paper!
