I am not a gamer in any sense of the word. My phones, my iPad, my iMac, my Pixelbook, my Nvidia Shield and other Android TV devices, they’re all living a game-less existence. But for the last few days, I’ve been sucked into the Wordle craze. The 5-letter word-guessing game is sweet, simple, and perfectly suited for a non-gamer like me.
The reason I don’t play any games isn’t that I don’t like them, it’s because I know I have zero self-control and I’m easily sucked in. I have lost countless hours playing games in the past, so I decided many years ago not to install them on my devices in order to remain a functioning human. Solution by avoidance. It’s cowardly, but it works for me.
