50 Fiber Words to Play in Wordle

The internet game Wordle, invented by Josh Wardle, is taking the world by storm! If you’ve seen friends on social media posting strange updates with gray, yellow, and green boxes, they’re playing it. Count me among them. Since January I’ve been starting my morning with a cup of coffee and the daily Wordle challenge.

Being the fiber-lover I am, I love to start my first guess at the Wordle of the day with craft words! With so many great 5-letter fiber words to choose from, one of these almost always gets me a couple of starting tiles and sets me up to get the right word in less than six guesses.
