Wordle has stumped quite a few people over the past year!

The massively popular word game, now owned by the New York Times, asks players to solve a five letter word by guessing different words, getting clues about the correct letters and placements of the letters along the way.

In the past few months, there have been some words deemed much harder than others to solve, and a new study revealed the 10 toughest words to solve.

Research conducted by online gaming site im-a-puzzle.com examined data collected by a twitter API called WordleStats and looked at Wordle tweets since the start of 2022. The data reveals the words that had the highest percentage failure rate of players who posted their scores on Twitter, according to the research.

Anna Faris is breaking into the gaming world.

The 44-year-old actress is teaming up with Running Press to develop a party game called Dealbreakers: A Game about Relationships, People confirmed on Thursday (February 18).

The game is inspired by the segment of the same name on her podcast, Anna Faris Is Unqualified, and will launch in May.

“As my dear listeners will know, ‘Dealbreakers’ is a segment on my podcast, Anna Faris Is Unqualified, where I ask guests about the crazy things they would or wouldn’t tolerate in a romantic partner. It’s led to so many fascinating and surprising conversations that we decided to make it into a game for everyone to play! What’s more fun than talking about what might drive you insane in a future partner?” Anna said in a statement.

Here’s how to play: “each round begins with a scenario card that describes a date or sets the scene. Players then put forward a ‘dealbreaker’ card that they believe will convince the round’s moderator to abandon the date.”

“As players explore these questions and collect points, they’ll learn more than they ever thought about themselves, their friends, and, of course, how to avoid dating axe-murderers,” a description of the game reads. Get a first look!

One of Anna‘s former co-stars recently got candid about their working relationship.

In the game, the best way to make money is to sell turnips, and the idea is to buy as many as possible and resell them for more money. When one fan tweeted that she was buying turnips, she received a DM for none other than Elijah.

“I freaked out! I couldn’t believe my eyes. I thought it was such a random, sincere gesture. I couldn’t believe it until he was really on my island and still responding to me,” player Jessica told Buzzfeed, adding that as a fan “it made the surprise even better.”

He stayed around and spoke to Jessica and her friends

“I thanked him again for visiting, and he was equally thankful that i let him sell his turnips!,” she said.

Amusingly, they also spoke about Star Wars in the game.

“We were saying things like ‘The Last Jedi outsold’ because we know Elijah is also a big fan of Episode VIII and it was a happy coincidence with my username. He said ‘long live Rian Johnson‘ and then left!”

Later on, Rian made Elijah‘s quote his Twitter header. Check out screenshots of the adorable experience…
