rethinking appreciation #18

i know i'm not the only person who starts my day with wordle.

and quordle.

and octordle.

and waffle. 

and blossom. 

when it comes to word games, there's a lot to appreciate, and not just the quantity or variety.

because it's about more than the games. 

even when limited to 5 letters, word nerds (takes one to know one) have a deep and expansive vocabulary. 

from acorn to magic, nymph to zebra, we're housing a lot of information.

there are probably even words you recognize but can't define. 

and when you consider the time it takes to solve the average game, the speed of word recall is astonishing. 

our brain recognizes dozens of letter patterns and files through countless options in less time than it takes to read this sentence.

H    R    C

your brain just did it! 

yes, you're trying to keep your streak alive, but your love of word games also gives you a chance to appreciate the wonder that is your brain. 

it is amazing how much it can do so quickly. 

and by the way, the word is chair.
