Theory time. When examining an episode of Wordle With Friends to determine whether it achieves "platonic ideal" status*, look for the presence of the three Cs.
1. Concise. Is the episode in question no longer than 5 minutes and 45 seconds?
2. Comedic. Is there an adequate amount of charismatic banter? It isn't enough to just joylessly speedrun the puzzle.
3. Compelling. Is the gameplay itself gripping, perhaps due to twists and turns or overall level of play?
With this criteria in mind, the Wordle Friends proudly present Episode 173, recipient of the coveted "WWF Platonic Ideal Seal of Approval".
*to clarify, this is NOT the same thing as an "all-time great episode," but rather "an exemplary specimen of an episode".
