One of her daughters became worried that her mother wasn't reading her texts or updating her about Wordle, leading her to call the cops
Police rescued an 80-year-old suburban Chicago woman who was held hostage for nearly 21 hours in large part because she couldn't text one of her daughters her daily Wordle score during the ordeal.
Denyse Holt and her oldest daughter, Meredith Holt-Caldwell, told reporters that Ms Holt woke up about 1 a.m. Sunday to the sight of a bloody and naked man armed with scissors in her Lincolnwood home.
Ms Holt said the man threatened her life. Ultimately, after grabbing two knives from the kitchen, Ms Holt said the man led her to a bathroom in the basement, barricading her inside using a chair for the next 17 hours.
