The Wordcels Puzzle celebrates people who love words and especially two-word expressions.

The term wordcels comes from internet memes.

For several years the term "shape rotator" was used to poke fun at people with high visualspatial skills. Shape rotators may be able to rotate 3D objects in their heads and construct amazing contraptions, but have trouble with people and might use the wrong "there" in their writing. Some might think, Nikola Tesla.



In 2021 a user of X (then twitter) named Roon coined a term for the "opposite" type who skew heavily to high verbal intelligence. He dubbed them, wordcels. Wordcels may be great writers, speakers or leaders of people, but may fail to accomplish practical tasks in the real world. Some might think, Alexander Hamilton.



The 'cel' ending of wordcel derives from another internet meme reflecting frustration of not getting something one feels they deserve. The rise of tech jobs and concurrent loss of revenue in many journalistic fields, left some 'wordcels' frustrated they were earning less than peers who could write some computer code.


Whether you are a shape rotator, a wordcel, or some balanced mix of the two, Wordcels Puzzle welcomes you with a daily challenge. Wordcels companion, the T-Shirt Puzzle, does the same for those on the shape rotation end of the spectrum. Enjoy.
