Horsle, not Horsley
Horsley is a common place and family name, so search results fill up with orthodontists and funeral homes. Horsle is the joke game at cabletwo.net made by mikkaio. It looks exactly like Wordle, with six rows and the usual colored tiles, but the answer is always the same five letters: HORSE.
Why people play a game they already know the answer to
The fun of Horsle is the setup. Friends who have not heard of it start with their usual opening word and play it straight, and the reveal is the punchline. It spread on Reddit for exactly that reason.
- Send it to someone without telling them the trick.
- Play a couple of normal rows before typing the answer, to keep the joke going.
- There is no need for an unlimited mode, since every game ends the same way.
