Wordle as a competitive sport

I guess it was only a matter of time before Wordle became a competitive sport. Interestingly, of the top ten countries, only Australia (4th=) and South Africa (7th=) are native English speakers. Here is the top ten:

1 Sweden (3.72)
2 Switzerland (3.78)
3 Poland (3.79)
4 Australia, Belgium (3.80)
6 Finland (3.81l
7 Brazil, Denmark, South Africa (3.83)
10 Israel (3.84)

Of course, it should be said that this ranking was only obtained from an analysis of Twitter postings that mention Wordle scores. So, really it's a ranking of people who feel the need to advertise their Wordle scores on Twitter. You probably wouldn't bother doing that if you regularly get it in six (or more!) These are probably people who scour the internet looking for killer techniques and best starting words. Enough said!
