How can you combine (结合) games with English learning? The answer is Wordle! Wordle players must correctly guess a five-letter word with just six tries. You either win by guessing it or lose because you run out of tries.
Invented by software engineer Josh Wordle, the game has been welcomed by millions of players across the world. Every midnight, Wordle refreshes its word of the day. For example, the answer for November 3 is ALOUD.
As you guess, the game gives you hints (提示). For example, if a letter is correct and in the right place, it turns green. If the letter is not in the word, it turns gray. If the letter is part of the word but in the wrong place, it turns yellow. These hints make the game into a puzzle.
You need knowledge to win this game, not just luck. Every syllable (音节) in an English word includes at least one vowel (元音), so finding vowels is a useful method. For example, in the word “think”, there is only one syllable and there is one vowel “i”.
Several days ago, I played this game and found it very interesting. First, I guessed the word “table”. Only “a” was green. Then, I guessed “maker” and the “r” turned yellow. In the end, I guessed “carry” and I was correct!
Wordle is not only a perfect game to have fun, but also an excellent tool to increase your English vocabulary. Why not have a try in your spare time?

The famous rocks that make up the forest are said to look like people, lions, birds and trees. It is known as the “Stone Forest Museum” as everything is in one place. Besides, the Stone Forest also receives lots of tourists every year for its Yi ethnic (彝族) culture.
③The whole area is very large, about 1, 100 square kilometers. The Stone Forest can be divided into eight parts. Among them, the Stone Forest Scenic Area including Major Stone Forest, Minor Stone Forest, Bushao Hill, Lizi Yuanqing, and Eternal Mushroom, is certainly a must-see in it.
④The Stone Forest is a fantastic natural wonder. Scientists said that the different kinds of stone shapes were formed because of 270 million years of sedimentation (沉积), pressure, uplift, and erosion (侵蚀).
⑤It is suitable to visit the Stone Forest all year round. But the best time to visit is from March to October. Most ethnic festivals are during this time, and travelers can also see colorful flowers during this time. Besides, neither hot summer nor very cold winter, the weather here is very nice all year round.
