MELANIE ANN DONOGHUE WEDS WORDLE

The bride, a project manager at a pharmaceutical-advertising agency, met Wordle, a New York Times digital game, in 2022. “All my friends were telling me he was great,” she said. “They’d been trying to get me into him for a while. But I’d just gotten out of a long relationship and wasn’t in a place to commit, especially not to a five-letter-word game.”

On the Washington Square Park bench where the couple was being interviewed, Donoghue admitted that her type was more “built.” “I like bald guys, actually,” she said. “All my exes before Wordle were bald human men.”

The bride’s father is a partner at the New York-based law firm Green & Ipswich, and Donoghue said she was nervous about introducing him to Wordle. “My parents are pretty traditional— high-school sweethearts and all that,” she said. “I thought, Are they going to judge me for dating someone I met online, who’s only capable of communicating through letters that Times readers type onto a gridlike interface?”

Naomi Fry on Jay McInerney's "Chloe's Scene"

As a teen-ager, long before I lived in New York, I felt the city urging me toward it. N.Y.C., with its art and money, its drugs and fashion, its misery and elation—how tough, how grimy, how scary, how glamorous! For me, one of its most potent siren calls was “Chloe’s Scene,” a piece written for this magazine, in 1994, by the novelist Jay McInerney, about the then nineteen-year-old sometime actress, sometime model, and all-around It Girl Chloë Sevigny.
