Are doctors ready for the challenge of medical Wordle?
The Australian-born online medical word game was developed as a stress buster for doctors and other healthcare workers
Meet Meddle. It’s a medical version of Wordle to help doctors beat stress and raise funds for COVID-19 vaccinations in developing countries.
The brainchild of Associate Professor Chris Alderman from the University of SA, and his son Jonathon, players have seven attempts to work out a six-letter medical word.
Professor Alderman says it’s similar to an “electronic version of hangman”.
So like Wordle, a phenomenon which seems to have swept much of the world in recent months, after each guess, any correct letter is highlighted in yellow, or green if it’s the correct letter in the correct position.
