Playing puzzles like Wordle has benefits, but do they go beyond getting better at solving them?
has become a popular daily distraction. Suddenly, millions of people are focused on their vocabulary of five-letter words and are newly aware of concepts like letter frequency and letter position as they strategize about the best opening words and faster solutions.
Competitive Scrabble players are people who spend a great deal of time playing Scrabble, competing in Scrabble tournaments, memorizing word lists, and practicing anagramming—shuffling sets of letters to create different words. We also used brain imaging to study how all those years of intensive practice might have altered brain processes for language in competitive Scrabble players.
We investigated that question by giving competitive Scrabble players and a group of Scrabble non-experts a task that was similar to Scrabble but used symbols instead of letters. In that task, Scrabble players were no better than anyone else in terms of their processing speed or accuracy. Our research with people who are not Scrabble experts shows that mental processes start to change quite quickly when people are asked to take on a new word recognition task. That means it’s very likely your Wordle habit has already caused slight changes in the brain processes you use to solve the puzzles.Wordle has become a habit for millions, but for others it’s not appealing.
