So you think all games are video games?

I think all computer games are video games. And this is a game played on a computer.

[epilogue]

it could be argued it's a word puzzle.. which doesn't have to be a video game.. you wouldn't call a word puzzle in a newspaper a video game, would you?

it's a program tho, which makes it a video game.

Maybe. But this is a matter of the best place for the thread. Is it more an "entertainment" or more a "video game."

Also, there are a lot of people who don't go into the video game sub-forum that also play Wordle. Would moving it hurt the thread?

There are a lot of aspects to consider. And I'm still not sold that A&E isn't the best place for this thread.

Yes but it's not a game that must be played on a computer.

Is Scrabble a video game?

Jeopardy!?

Solitaire?

Moving it will increase the traffic in video game forum. Everyone's been hooked now, and they will seek it out. It's like how you lure a cat into a pet carrier with wet food.

The computerized versions of those games are video games. The concept of Wordle is just a game. Put it on TV as LINGO and it's a gameshow. Play it with pen and paper and another person who knows the answer giving you results of each guess, well then it's just a word game or a tabletop game. Put it on a computer and it's a computer game. And computer games are just one type of video game.

It can be played in a non-computer game version. It's a word puzzle game that happens to be played largely on a mobile platform. There is some cross-over. But the best place for the thread is in A&E.

So Madden NFL is not a video game because football can be played in real life... ok. It astounds me you're so outnumbered in this, even the poll was largely in favor of video game, then you lock it and still maintain your position on the matter.. Just... wow
