Cyrdle

I like words. So when Wordle became a thing, I jumped on that bandwagon. What's not to like? I still do it most days. And I also fairly regularly do the Octordle.

Then my sister mentioned Woordle; the Dutch version. I had a look at that, but it seems that you needed to create an account, and I didn't want to do that. But when I was thinking of Wordle-equivalents in non-English languages, I of course also thought of Wordle in Welsh. Surely that would exist? And yes, it does! called Cyrdle, after Cymraeg, of course.

I found it hard in the beginning. My vocabulary is not very well developed! But to my surprise, I did tend to get them all. You could argue it is actually easier as there are fewer letters in the Welsh alphabet. Cyrdle doesn't consider Welsh letters such as ll and dd letters; it sees them as doubling up of existing letters. So you don't get any additional ones; you only lose some such as V and K and suchlike. 

Somewhere in the beginning I started a Cyrdle and then forgot about it. Obviously, I didn't get that one. But that is the only time I wasn't successful. I’m better at it than I expected! I quite like my little Welsh vocabulary habit now. And sometimes I just guess a word that I don't even know, but that sounds plausible. And if it is the correct answer I look up what it means. So it's even educational. I think I’ll keep going.
