Josh Wardle’s immensely popular word-guessing game, Wordle, has captivated the internet since its debut in October 2021. With millions of players globally, this straightforward yet addictive game involves guessing a five-letter word in six tries. The game’s widespread appeal is evident in the numerous variations that have emerged, each offering a distinct twist on the original concept.
Irish speakers are not left out of the fun, thanks to a dedicated version called Foclach. Created by Irish programmer, Ciarán Ó Coigligh, Foclach allows players to guess a five-letter word in Irish within six attempts.
This adaptation has gained significant popularity among Gaeilgeoirí (Irish language enthusiasts), who relish the chance to engage with their native language in an enjoyable and interactive manner.
