In January of 2025, I exhibited paintings I created from the results from my playing Wordle. Later that year, I learned that the NY Times offered people the ability to create their own Wordles with 4-7 characters and they can share their puzzle with others to complete.

I created a 7-letter puzzle, and I challenged my friends on social media to play it, and whether they were successful or not, to screenshot your results and email them to me.

This painting has the results of 24 completed puzzles from my custom 7 character word. The puzzles are grouped in fours, painted in narrow vertical stripes, in six sections, two across and three tall.

The fours patterns and colors (not the letters) in each square are painted in the grid of a monoprinted and stitched construction fence pattern, with collaged pieces of an antique crossstitched embroidery. The fabric is stiffened so it appears more like paper than fabric.
