IT’S the simple word game taking the world by storm.
Wordle — invented by Brit software engineer Josh Wardle, to amuse his girlfriend — has become a viral sensation.

Every day there is a new five-letter word you have to guess within six attempts.
I’m obsessed.
But if one riddle a day is not enough for you, here are ideas for how to save while getting your puzzles fix — or even to make money just by rearranging the alphabet . . .
WORD UP: Not yet tried Wordle? Join millions of people around the world grappling to guess today’s five-letter word at powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle.
LEARN THE LINGO: ITV’s teatime gameshow Lingo, hosted by Adil Ray, is very similar to Wordle. Download the official smartphone app for free or entertain the whole family with the Lingo board game for just £19, down from £24 at Argos.

MIND-BOGGLING: The Boggle alphabet dice game from Hasbro is a family favourite. Find as many words as you can on the grid within three minutes. Boots has Boggle Classic for just £6.47, down from £8.99.

LOTTO CHANCES: A few letters and numbers could be a winner.
Pickmypostcode.com (not to be confused with the paid-for Postcode Lottery) is free, and a different postcode each day wins hundreds of pounds. But if your postcode is picked and you haven’t entered that day, you can’t win. Prizes roll over when they go unclaimed.
GET PAID TO GOOGLE: Words you type into Google every day could earn cash. Qmee.com has lots of ways of claiming cash back, including by downloading free software for your browser that pays pennies every time you search the internet or shop with your favourite brands.
DON’T FORGET: The Sun is packed with free puzzles every day. And you can get 40 per cent off Sun puzzle books at collins.co.uk/sunpuzzle until February 28 by entering code SUNPUZZLE40 at the checkout.
