My Gaming Problem
It all started with Wordle.
"You should try it," people told me, "it's fun." And before I knew it, Wordle became a staple of my morning, even to the point that I write a poem about it every day on Facebook. So, that was a threshold. After Wordle moved to the New York Times I was fine, since I had a subscription.
But it wasn't the end of it. Next came Spelling Bee, also at the Times, which captivated and befuddled me. I cursed by vocabulary issues even as I came up with words like "Nationalization," which got about one zillion points. Spelling Bee takes a LOT more time to do than Wordle.
After that came Connections, a game where you find words that have something in common. The combination of challenging and kinda fun was irresistible. But was I becoming an addict?
Next came Flashback, a game so obscure that it isn't even listed on the "Games" page of the Times. You have to search for it by name.
Do I need to seek help for this?
