Despite word puzzle game Wordle taking the world by storm, high school dropout Vic Vinegar thinks the world is fawning over this stupid game unnecessarily , dismissing it as nothing more than a flavour of the month. 

The outburst comes in the footy team group chat where Vinegar’s mates are quick to post their daily results in a friendly game of one-upsmanship. Concerns rippled across the group chat on Saturday evening when Vinegar had still not posted his result for the day, leading concerned group members to reach out to see if he was ok. 

“Yeah, all good. Just didn’t feel like playing it today,” he responded to one mate.

“Can’t be stuffed playing this overrated game,” he responded to the next. 

“I’m getting sick of it. The words they come up with are just stupid,” he sent to the next. 

“TACIT. WTF DOES THAT EVEN MEAN???” he sent to the last of the mates expressing concern for his welfare. 

Vinegar quickly returned to the group chat, commenting “Guys, I think the New York Times have ruined the game. I’m going back to playing Flappy Bird.” 

The group suggested Vinegar might enjoy the game more if he stopped guessing ‘boobs’ as his first guess each day.
