words from wordle 1,960
YAHOO naturally invited exclamation, relief, and absurdity. Lari and Jonesy turn it into a response to the Wordle process itself, Debbie uses it as a failed oracle, Robo as pure noise, and Mark as comic punctuation.
The most effective poems gave YAHOO a reason to be shouted. Mick’s does that especially well: the word arrives not as a required flourish, but as a believable reaction to finding something amid the wreckage.
