Jen Psaki says learning to play Wordle is on her to-do list when she leaves the White House

• Jen Psaki told reporters she hasn't been part of her office's Wordle competition.
• "I'm not even entirely sure I know how to play Wordle," she told reporters.

Jen Psaki has faced many challenging situations during her time as White House press secretary.

Wordle, however, hasn't been one of them.

Psaki, who is leaving the podium on Friday, told reporters that she hasn't been a part of an office Wordle competition.

"I'm not even entirely sure I know how to play Wordle," she said of the five-letter word puzzle that's now a mainstay on Twitter. "I need to learn. This will be on my list."

Psaki's comment came during a discussion at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast about her time serving as press secretary, which will end on Friday.

One Twitter user responded to a clip of her comments with a Wordle of warning: "Don't. It's a trap you'll never escape."

"Wait until she finds out every answer is Doocy," tweeted another user, referring to Fox News White House reporter Peter Doocy, who frequently clashes with Psaki in the briefing room.

Psaki, however, also told reporters she'll miss her exchanges with Doocy. Despite their tense exchanges, she said they have "a very good, professional relationship."

Psaki is expected to join the NBC News Group family as early as September. Her successor is Karine Jean-Pierre, White House principal deputy press secretary since 2021, who often appeared on MSNBC as a political analyst before joining the Biden campaign and then the administration.
