• Ben Affleck is a part of a ‘fiercely competitive’ celebrity Wordle group.
• He also made reference to his passion of crossword puzzles and word games.
• Affleck said he was sucked into the game and was impressed by how skilled everyone else was.

The Justice League actor revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that he plays Wordle with friends Matt Damon, Bradley Cooper, and Jason Bateman.

While discussing the Pandemic, the 50-year-old made reference to his passion of crossword puzzles and word games.

He explained, “Octordle. It’s just Wordle with more words. Don’t be impressed, it’s not harder. I was invited to join a cool little red velvet rope celebrity Wordle group. Matt [Damon]’s one of them. Jason Bateman and Bradley [Cooper].”

Affleck confessed that he was sucked into the game and was impressed by how skilled everyone else was.

“Actually, the first rule of Wordle is don’t talk about Wordle. Unless you get it in three guesses. I used to do the crossword compulsively in the mornings and think I was good at word games. And let’s face it, going up against actors, it’s not a high bar. I expected to do fairly well, so I was seriously humbled,” he joked.

“You have to do the Wordle, the Quordle and the Octordle, and add up your score, and then whoever gets the lowest score wins for the day. It’s fiercely competitive, and there’s a lot of mockery and derision. So I’m in training.”
