Game Rules

Like traditional golf, the objective of this game is to be the player at the end of the round with the lowest score.

How to play

After playing today's Wordle. Click the green share button and share your results with this channel. Wordle-Bot should respond to you by notifying the channel of your scores. Each daily Wordle is a "hole", one "round" of Wordle Golf is three holes and your final score is the sum of your attempts over those three Wordle submissions.

You have until the end of the day to make a submission, at which each player's submission will be tallied on their scorecard. At the end of the round, the player with the lowest score is the winner!

FAQ

What if I forget to play a hole when others have?

If a hole has not been played in the round, then a score of 7 is added to the players scorecard.

What if I join a round of golf a day or two late?

A score of 7 is added per hole not played

What if no one plays one day of wordle?

Oh..well, Wordle-Bot understands and won't count that day as a hole played. If a round is not finished, Wordle-Bot waits for someone to post a score before assuming users want to progress the round.
