Let’s begin with a moment of reassurance. A good two hours into the public celebration of the life of Frederick W. Smith on Monday, Aug. 11, Richard Smith — Fred’s son and the CEO of FedEx Airline and International — took the stage and addressed the crowd.

“You are all a part of our family,” he said. “‘Believe Memphis,’ it says on many of our growl towels. We aren’t going anywhere.”

Smith pointed out that most of his siblings live in Memphis — and those siblings are trying to recruit others to move back.

This game follows some of the conventions of Wordle. You get six tries to guess each individual word. If a letter on the keypad turns yellow, the letter is in that specific word, but it’s in the wrong spot. If it turns green, the letter is in the right spot. If it turns gray, it’s not part of the word.

But unlike Wordle there can be any number of words or letters.

Good luck!
