words from wordle 1,689

House principle
In strong Worku, the constraint isn’t background scenery. It behaves like a character. The same word can accuse, witness, protect, tempt, or lift— depending on how you place it and what you ask it to do. When the constraint has agency, the poem comes alive.

Debbie Wilson 3/6
A CHORE and a bore
A CRUMB lingers on a tie
And ash of CIGAR

Diana Marie 3/6
GROSS vitriol spewed
Sermons mounted from false RIDGE
Back-room CIGAR chomp

Mark 3/6
RAISE eyes to the sky
GRAIN based fuel propels the mind
Le CIGAR volant

Mick 2/6
A dark AISLE. Footsteps.
A twisted body lies still —
A lit CIGAR glows

A dark AISLE. Footsteps.
A twisted shape, motionless —
A lit CIGAR glows

what it is

  • worku is a daily practice where your wordle guesses become a haiku
  • use your guesses in the same order you played them
  • aim for imagery and flavor over perfect grammar
  • add a touch of nature, humor, or irony

“Worku is good for saying what you are thinking, which is why I have so many about cheese. Nice finding a place.” — Mark
