Another day, another variant of the popular online word puzzle game Wordle in esports – but this Rocket League one is different.
It asks users to guess the RLCS mystery player in seven attempts or less. But rather than just including the word, with a correct guess making a specific letter turn yellow (or green if it’s also in the right place within the word), this one also shows the player’s nationality, organisation and the region they represented at a LAN event (the most recent being the RLCS Winter Major).
This means if you’re struggling with a specific word/player name, you can guess a region or team to help narrow things down.
RLCSLE – Wordle for Rocket League for the RLCS went live recently, and has been created in the UK by Cameron Bertie and online community 10 Controls.
Several Rocket League pro esports players and content creators have been playing this version of Wordle on streams, including the likes of Kronovi & CorruptedG (pictured below), Tenacity and more.
The news comes after a similar version of Wordle – with the title ‘Yordle’ – for League of Legends launched a few weeks ago, and following that, another League version of Wordle, along with a CSGO one.
As per that game, it’s worth noting this new RLCS version of Wordle isn’t an official Rocket League game and it seems developer Psyonix has no involvement with it.
The RLCS Rocket League creator Cameron Bertie went into more detail around the creation of the RLCS Wordle game in this video on YouTube.
He got the idea after seeing the popularity of Wordle grow and playing Rocket League one day, so he started coding.
Now, the question is – which esports/video game version of Wordle is next? Valorant Wordle maybe? Scrap that, we’ve just seen such a thing exists already.
