- Ben Affleck said that Matt Damon won't let him into his Wordle group.
- Damon plays in the group alongside Bradley Cooper, Jason Bateman, and Will Arnett.
Although Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have been friends since they were kids, and have worked together a number of times onscreen over the years, there's still a little rivalry between the two when it comes to one very important thing: Wordle.
Yes, the pair of actors are avid Wordle players, but Damon takes the game to a whole new level by playing with a group of other A-list stars including Bradley Cooper.
Appearing on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" to promote their latest movie, "Air," Monday, Affleck explained to the host that Damon refuses to let him join the group.
Affleck said: "I'm trying to get into it and I'm being velvet-roped by the bouncer here. He's telling me that I gotta get a cooler plus one or something."
Damon explained that the group plays three different games, Wordle, Quordle, and Octordle, before combining their scores.
Damon said: "So there's Octordle, which is the eight words, and then Quordle, which is the four words, and then Wordle, which is the one. So we play all three and you add up your score."
Affleck made a quick jab at his longtime pal, saying, "Alright, Will Hunting," referring to Damon's role as the math genius in "Good Will Hunting."
Damon added: "It's very, very competitive. Will Arnett is in it, Bradley Cooper, Jason Bateman. You're welcome to join, I just advised you… We call it the Nerdle League. I was like, 'You can join the Nerdle League but you might want to get your scores down.'"
Affleck replied: "The truth is they told me what their scores were — I was like, 'I can get in.' Then I did it a couple of times — I was like, 'I might need to train.'"
Damon briefly vented about how annoyed he gets when playing Quordle, saying: "Well, I'm not a fan of Quordle, which is the four words. The people are a little sinister. Because they'll do words like 'rarer' and I'm like, 'You're really gonna do three Rs in one word?' Like, you guys suck."
If Affleck wants to get into the Nerdle League, he clearly just needs to beat Damon at Quordle.
