Wordle saved the life of an elderly woman when a woman who plays the game regularly failed to send an update to her daughter, as reported in The Daily Mail. The game of Wordle is a popular word game on the internet in which a player has to guess a five-letter word within six chances. Each day, players are presented with a new word challenge. Many people across the world are hooked to it and never fail a chance to play this daily game where they want to be the first to guess the correct word.
How Wordle saved the woman from a hostage crisis
Denyse Holt, who lives in the Lincolnwood neighborhood of Chicago, was asleep on February 5 when a mentally ill naked man broke into her home. The woman plays Wordle every day along with her daughter. Holt’s eldest daughter Meredith Holt-Caldwell, who lives in Seattle, noticed that her mother was not responding to text messages and had not sent her daily Wordle, something she never missed.
The daughter smelled something fishy and alerted the authorities. Police were called and an hours-long standoff ensued, with the officers eventually using a stun gun through a hole in the door to subdue and arrest the man. Denyse Holt expressed her gratitude to the police for saving her life.
The culprit, a 32-year-old man, cut himself while breaking the glass of the windows to get into Denyse Holt’s house. He then pointed scissors at Holt and then got into bed with her. After that took the old lady and locked her in the basement bathroom. Holt has confirmed that she was not assaulted by the convict. The man is being detained pending mental health evaluation.
