About Dexterdle

Twenty-seven of the 82 people in Dexterdle were killed by Dexter himself, which tells you most of what you need to know about the show. This Dexter Wordle covers every version of him: the eight Miami seasons, New Blood up in Iron Lake, the Original Sin prequel and Resurrection.

Debra, Batista and Masuka won't slow anyone down. The ones that hurt are faces from a single season you only half remember, like Esther from the Iron Lake police, Barb Plimpton from Original Sin or Elric Kane from New Blood. Keep an eye on the Fate tile. When it comes back Killed by Dexter, most of Miami Metro is off the table.
