Wordles creator made a new game, and its way harder

Wordle lovers might have a new obsession on their hands.

Josh Wardle — the creator of the popular games now owned by the New York Times — released a new word-game creation. It's called Parseword, and it's far more difficult than Wordle. It's a tricky, cryptic crossword puzzle.

It's...quite difficult, especially for a beginner. It's certainly a game for word nerds. I was an English major, and I write for a living, and my first attempt on Wednesday was a total, frustrating failure.
