Wordle Wednesdays
Wordle Wednesdays are back! You can participate in our financial literacy themed Wordle Wednesdays throughout April. If you’re not familiar, Wordle is a popular web-based word game from The New York Times, and we’re sharing our own version for eMoney.
- Every Wednesday beginning April 2, we’ll share our Wordle Wednesday via eMoney General on Teams.
- Participants will submit a screenshot of their Wordle to life@emoneyadvisor.com by 5:30 p.m. PT on Thursdays.
- If you guessed the correct word, you will be entered to win 25 eMpower points. We’ll unveil each week’s word in Life@eMoney on Fridays in April.
How to Play
- You get six attempts to guess a five-letter word that is related to financial wellness.
- After each guess, the letters are assigned a color to help inform your next guess (see example below):
- Gray: The letter is not included in the word.
- Yellow: The letter is included in the word, but it is incorrectly placed.
- Green: The letter is included in the word, and it is correctly placed.
- Letters can be used multiple times in the word. (Ex: HAPPY – The letter “P” is used twice in the word “happy.”)
- Week of March 31: Congratulations Laura Krantz! The word was DEBTS.
- Week of April 7: Congratulations Nathaniel Hunt! The word was ASSET.
- Week of April 14: Congratulations Joel Ugwuebulem! The word was LOANS.
- Week of April 21: Congratulations Jeannie McGill! The word was COINS.
- Congratulations Mingle Li! Thanks for sharing your spending tips.
- Week of April 28: Congratulations Myisha Lewis! The word was STOCK.
