A Wordle online game is gaining popularity around the world, which was developed by one person and only exists in the web version. As of November 1, 2021, Wordle had 90 daily users, and by early January the number had grown to 300,000, according to The New York Times.
What's the point of playing Wordle?

The player must guess a five-letter English word in six tries. On the first attempt, the user can enter any word that matches the size. After confirmation, the letters entered are highlighted in different colors:
• green – if the letter is guessed correctly and is in the correct place;
• yellow – if the letter is in the word but in the wrong place;
• in gray – if the letter is not in the word.
These clues allow players to get closer to solving the word each time.
The game will only allow you to complete one puzzle per day, while all users solve the same word.

Who developed Wordle?
Wordle was created by Brooklyn-based software engineer Josh Wardle. He named the game after his last name.
Wardle first prototyped an online word puzzle in 2013. But the game didn't impress his friends and the software engineer stopped working on it. However, in 2020 Wardle returned to the puzzle, creating it exclusively for himself and his girlfriend Palak Shah. During the lockdown, the developer's beloved got interested in solving crosswords and puzzles. “I wanted to make a game that he would enjoy,” – quotes Wardle in The New York Times.
The pair worked on the words for several months, and after that Wardle sent a link to the game to their loved ones. Those close to the developer liked Wordle, and in October 2021 he decided to make the game available to users around the world.
According to Wardle, limiting the number of parties to one per day was a breakthrough. It increased the feeling of scarcity, it made users want more.
Players also liked the simple website that hosts the game. It has no banners distracting ads or other annoying elements.
“I think people kind of appreciate that there's this thing on the internet that's just funny”, – Wardle noted. – This is not an attempt to do anything shady with your data or your eyeballs. It's just a fun game.
As the game grew in popularity, users began posting their success in guessing the word on social media, tapping a grid of green, yellow and gray emoticons. Wardle noticed this and developed an automated way for players to share their results on Twitter without spoilers. In addition, he and his girlfriend sorted out five-letter English words, eliminating those that , in their view, were little known.
Wordle is now available for users around the world, but Palak Shah says she appreciates that Wordle originally created the game for her. “That's very sweet, – she said. – This is definitely how Josh shows his love.
Is there Wordle in Russian?
On January 10, an analogue of Wordle in Russian was launched by Twitter user @sudo_belousov. The rules are the same: six attempts to guess a five-letter word, highlighting the letters in three colors, one word per day. According to the developer, more than 10,000 people have played the game in two days of its existence. He said he was preparing a mobile application with the game for the App Store and Google Play.
Meanwhile, on January 12, Apple announced that it had removed Apps with Wordle game clones from App Store. Josh Wardle previously decided not to release it as an app or monetize it. According to Apple management, Wordle analogues violate company policy regarding apps that copy other people's ideas.

History Protests in Kazakhstan in the face of rising gas prices
After the introduction of the peacekeeping contingents of OTSC in Kazakhstan, it can be said that this organization has finally shown that it is capable of something. In a few days, a certain sharing of responsibilities developed between the partners.
Belarus
A company of peacekeepers of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus took under protection the airfield of Zhetygen, 30 kilometers from Almaty. In the early days of the peacekeeping contingent's deployment, this was Kazakhstan's most important strategic object. As the Almaty International Airport was destroyed by looters, it was dangerous to install many military transport planes of the Russian Aerospace Forces there. & Nbsp;
The company is commanded by Guards Major Igor Gil :
& mdash; The company, which I command, twice participated in exercises on the territory of Belarus, and on four occasions & mdash; in Russia. In Armenia and Tajikistan such exercises were held once, in Kazakhstan & mdash; twice. Who then could have imagined that on the territory of our Kazakh brothers we had to participate not in training, but in real peacekeeping operations! But there is, as they say, good news. In a few days, I met four acquaintances that I came across during maneuvers in previous years. Some soldiers who served in the company longer than me have met more acquaintances, who can only rejoice. We worked closely with the Russian paratroopers, who took the airfield under protection first, for 24 hours. Then they passed the item to us.

Kyrgyzstan
Alma-Ata Heating Plant # 2 provides heat and electricity to more than half of the population of the huge city which is home to over 2 million people. It is the former capital of Kazakhstan and the largest city in the country. Under the OTSC member state agreements, it is guarded by units of the Scorpion Special Forces Brigade. from Kyrgyzstan. & nbsp;
This brother Kazakhstan needs help, “ Scorpions' & # 39; learned like everyone else: from the speech of President Tokayev at CSTO. The brigade was alerted on January 6. From Kant airfield 12 Russian Il-76s transferred Kyrgyz special forces with armored vehicles and other weapons to Alma-Ata airfield & mdash; 150 people and 20 equipment. Now the Kyrgyz peacekeepers guard the thermal power station with the Kazakh police and the security service of electrical engineers. The scheme of the facility had to be stepped up. At night, there is such an unthinkable measure in peacetime as a system of passwords and reviews.
Tajikistan, Armenia
A Tajik contingent of blue helmets of around 100 guards TPP No.1. Unlike TPP # 2, it does not run on Ekibastuz coal, but on gas. The appearance of the Tajiks in Almaty & mdash; This is a kind of “return visit”: From 1992 to 2002, the military in Kazakhstan helped restore peace to Tajikistan during and after the civil war. A battalion of peacekeepers brought dry rations with them, but local authorities put it on their rations. The Tajik contingent is supplied by the CHP-1 itself. Today's breakfast consisted of rice porridge, bread, butter, sausage, eggs, and sweet tea with cookies.
Speaking of bread and cookies. The most delicious & # 39; the object in Alma-Ata went to a contingent of peacekeepers from Armenia. This is the Aksai Bakery and Confectionery Factory, which supplies bread to a good half of the city. They say the first question from Armenian peacekeepers to local law enforcement officers was not “Where to dig trenches at all?” “, But” Where are you hiding your daughters? “

Russia
The commander of the unit (which is – a military secret) of the 45th Airborne Special Forces Brigade, Senior Lt.

They say anything bad must stay in the old year. You should make the best of the new. Therefore, we tried to have time to redo all the most important things before January. Someone did it. And Nikita Surikov & ndash; did not work. Not enough quotas. & Nbsp; Nikita Surikov (17, Moscow) needs help, he urgently needs a replacement of his defibrillator. 563,000 rubles are not enough.
Have you watched any TV series about doctors? In each of them there is a scene where the patient's heart suddenly stops, but the doctor immediately puts two irons on the patient. and shout: “ Unload yourself! Another dump! & # 39; & # 39; The heart starts, life goes on & ndash; and the & shy; Also.
So, in the heart of Nikita Surikov, for several years there has been such a resuscitating defibrillator. When Nikitin's heart stops, the device should give a shock and start the engine. This was the case until recently. And now the defibrillator has broken down and shocks the teenager like that. Not at the cinema & ndash; in real life.
Before this blackout, there were already enough knocks in Nikita's life. At first I found myself without my mother & ndash; with dad, grandmother and two uncles in a small apartment in the east of Moscow. And soon, instead of mum, Aunt Larisa appeared, daddy's cousin who lived next door. Nikita was 3 years old and he can't remember an important morning in his life. How the first frost tickled my nostrils, and in the church near the Izmailovsky cemetery there was a thick smell of incense. He was baptized that day. Aunt Larisa became Nikita's second mother according to the laws of God. And she wasn't officially recognized as the teenage girl's tutor until last October.
Dad and grandmother left one by one. Diseases, age and hellip; Thanks for uncles & ndash; they care, help, and even in Nikita's room they haven't changed a thing. She stayed behind him & ndash; let him come when he wants. It's just that Aunt Larisa silently handed him the keys to his odnushka, and he silently took them. 17 years old, almost a man, what can I explain?
“ In my life with Nikita, almost nothing has changed. Except that in my room there is now his bed and his desk. I have been with him my whole life. And I know his story & # 39; & # 39 ;, & ndash; Larissa said.
The story is: Nikita was only a child when he first passed out while playing in the sandbox. Grandma rushed over to him, and he went limp in her arms and turned blue. Cardiologists, according to “faint hearted”, diagnosed: an elongated qt interval or, as it is also called, “sudden death syndrome”. Nikita spent several years on blockers and then surgery was required. First, our foundation paid for an operation to deny the heart, and later the teenager received the same life-saving defibrillator.
With him, Nikita graduated from 9 classes and entered the university of robotics. And also uncle Vova and uncle Fedor paid for his music lessons. He now plays guitar in the band. “ We are planning to hire a math teacher for Nikita. After college he has to go to college. Music & ndash; for the soul, and the profession & ndash; for life & # 39; & # 39 ;, & ndash; says Larissa … She herself was orphaned at the age of 15 and her own aunt (twin sister of Nikita's grandmother) became her guardian. Thanks to her aunts, she grew up and learned to be an intensive care nurse. And now, she gives her debt to her godson. She attended a school for foster parents and regularly meets with the guardianship inspector every three months. “ You have to have time for everything and think of everything. Call the guardianship and ask to move the meeting, check the parental chat, meet the grandchildren (they are a bit younger than Nikita), and at the same time the hospital is so busy! Well, I issue vaccination certificates. You yourself understand how much work we have. But now all of this from & shy; has taken a back seat, because Nikita is in trouble. & # 39; & # 39;
It all happened in the college gymnasium. Because of his heart, Nikita is removed from physical education, but sometimes he comes to the lesson for company with other guys. He didn't run or jump that day. I just tossed the ball into the volleyball basket and felt the first shock & ndash; sharp pain in the chest. History has repeated itself twice. And it will be repeated again. Cardiologists cannot help now because the implanted defibrillator cannot be repaired. You can only replace it with a new one, but you only have to wait for the quota for the operation. And Nikita, who is shocked by electric shocks, is not to be expected. The disease is always with him, the heart can stop at any time. Only nothing will restart it. There will be no dump, so & ndash; one more. Alas, this is not a series where doctors always have time to come to the rescue. But this is the very life where strangers & shy; help each other just like that.
We can save Nikita for the second time. We too will receive this debt someday.
