There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

As written by Martin B. Short, associate professor in the School of Mathematics, "the author goes about ruining an online word guessing game by generally trying to mathify the whole thing." Trying to find the secret solution word in Wordle has become the latest internet word game obsession for many, and as Short writes, it can indeed involve a judicious use of math to rapidly find the hidden word.
