I Hear Dee created a free language game, called Wirdle, to promote the ‘Shetlandic’ dialect and help boost interest in the language, which resulted in more than 20,000 unique users of the game from 113 different countries.

Speaking to the Shetland Times, she added: ‘All of those users were an enhancement to the New York Times Wordle, because every time anyone used that they would be aware of the fact that the inspiration was the original Wordle.
