Word game Phoodle is the latest hit among foodies
Do you enjoy a (word) game, and did you get swept up in the Wordle hype? Millions of people have become hooked on that online game, in which you have to guess a five-letter word in no more than six attempts each day. A touch of Lingo, a pinch of Mastermind, no app needed, just online, and the creator from Wales soon saw his brainchild become the property of The New York Times Company. If you find this interesting and you also love food and drink (which is probably why you’re reading FavorFlav), the following might be right up your street too?
Because a true foodie (and when it comes to that word alone, FavorFlav’s Vincent van Dijk wants to flip the Scrabble board), is naturally at their sharpest when food terms come into play. And especially for that audience, there is now the game Phoodle.
Wordle for food lovers
It isn’t the first Wordle spin-off, but it is one that specifically asks for answers related to food and drink. The game was and is developed by, among others, cookbook author Julie Loria, who challenges users to test their culinary expertise by guessing words ranging from ingredients to kitchen equipment and famous chefs, and much more.
Martha joins in
Whose radar has the game already appeared on? None other than Martha Stewart, who shared her first time playing on social media. She guessed boeuf, and if that doesn’t sound too complicated, that’s because it isn’t. The game is still new, and the (so far exclusively) English words aren’t too difficult yet. The expectation is that once more and more users join, the easy words will run out and you’ll be challenged a little more.
Bread and games
There are also plans to share a recipe each week, as well as a ‘fun food fact’ with every answer that is shown. Curious? You can check out and play Phoodle here!
