The Strehlke family has been puzzling together since March 2024, when Papa dropped a Wordle result into the group chat and ignited a competition that has not, as of this writing, been extinguished.
What began as a daily ritual of shared colored squares quickly escalated. First came the scores. Then the suspicion. Then the mathematics.
Weekly and all-time standings for the family Wordle and Connections competitions. Tracks every result, every streak, every ignominious 7/6.
In which a family member builds a solver that deduces the Wordle answer from other players' shared results—using only the colored patterns, no letters—and proceeds to post eight hole-in-one solves in eight weeks. Named after Carol Burnett. Declassified 2026.
