I look forward to my daily Wordle.
And I know I’m not the only one.
Wordle is the perfect example of creating instant flow.
A flow state, also known as “being in the zone”, is the mental state in which a person performing an activity is completely focused, involved and enjoying the activity they are doing.
A flow state has to involve a task that is perfectly balanced between too easy and too hard.
It has to be sufficiently challenging without feeling overwhelming but not so simple as to be boring.
It should also require deep concentration.
Wordle has invariably ended up being in that sweet spot of not being too hard or too easy and quick enough to not require an extended period of deep concentration.
No wonder millions across the world are hooked on this simple game.
