From this month's Neuroscience for Kids email newsletter (

NEUROSCIENCE FOR KIDS "SITE OF THE MONTH”
The Neuroscience for Kids “Site of the Month” for August is “Neurdle” at
https://www.neurdle.com/“Wordle” is a popular web-based word game developed by Josh Wardle in 2021. Now there is a neuroscience version of the game called “Neurdle.” Game play in Neurdle is the same as Wordle and fairly simple. The Neurdle web site game instructions say, “Guess the word in 6 tries. After each guess, the color of the tiles will change to show how close your guess was to the word.” If you do not guess the neuro-word correctly after six tries, the game will show you the correct answer and a definition of the word. You have to wait 10 minutes until you can try the game again with a new word.
Try Neurdle: it is quite challenging and a great way to improve your neuro-vocabulary.
In my observation and experience, this is a tough game! Challenging, indeed.
Scouting the internet for a potential word bank to assist me in guessing a "neuro-word," I found the following:
1) Neuroscience for Kids - Glossary
- - https://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/gloss.html2) DANA Foundation, Key Brain Terms Glossary
- - https://dana.org/explore-neuroscience/brain-basics/key-brain-terms-glossary/3) AANS Glossary of Neurosurgical Terminology
- - https://www.aans.org/en/Media/Glossary-of-TerminologyThe material at these links proved helpful, as I solved the first puzzle on the 5th try (out of 6 attempts allowed) and felt victorious.
I was nonplussed when the information page which was displayed as a reward contained outdated links which resulted in the error message 404-NotFound. (Nonetheless, my curiosity was piqued, and I will search for other links to the information described.)
