Adieu Plane Snake

by Benjamin Daniel Lawless

Discover Poetry in Your Daily Puzzle. Every morning, millions of people around the world open Wordle and type five-letter words, hoping to crack the day’s puzzle. But what if those seemingly random guesses were creating something beautiful without us even knowing it?

Benjamin Daniel Lawless reveals the hidden poetry lurking in our daily guessing attempts. Starting with a single screenshot on January 27, 2024 — when his sequence “ADIEU PLANE SNAKE” felt like something bigger than the sum of its parts — Lawless began collecting these moments of accidental art.

From “EARLY in the SOLAR REALM” to “PROVE KNOWN,” these accidental poems remind us that creativity can emerge anywhere, even in our guessing strategies and failed attempts to solve the daily puzzle. Lawless transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, proving that sometimes the best art happens when we’re not trying to make it at all.
