If you’re on social media, or you are somewhat aware of…the internet…you have probably noticed the new game that has taken over people’s minds and hearts.

It’s called “Wordle” and it’s a daily game that gives players six chances to guess a randomly selected five-letter word. The letters light up green, yellow or gray to show you whether they are in the right spot, wrong spot, or don’t belong at all.

The game is very popular, and getting more so every day. According to The New York Times, 90 people played on November 1, 2021. Today, there are more than 2.5 million daily players.

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that have five-letter titles?
