Wordle is a daily, online brainteaser. The widespread popularity of the game in the early months of 2022 has also led to widespread cheating. Here, we use data from Google Trends and Twitter to explore correlates of cheating on Wordle. We find that cheating behavior is negatively related to religiosity and cultural tightness. Although this is a benign example of cheating behavior, we discuss how popular trends can be used as case studies of group-level behavior.
Wordle 是一款每日在线益智游戏。该游戏在 2022 年初的广泛流行也导致了广泛的作弊行为。在这里，我们使用来自 Google Trends 和 Twitter 的数据来探讨 Wordle 作弊的相关因素。我们发现，作弊行为与宗教信仰和文化紧密程度呈负相关。尽管这是一种良性的作弊行为，但我们讨论了如何将流行趋势用作群体行为的案例研究。
