About Ghostbustersdle

Slimer has turned up in six of the seven things Ghostbustersdle covers, missing only Afterlife. Winston matches him exactly, except the one he skipped was Answer the Call.

The game takes in both cartoons along with the films, so Kylie Griffin and the rest of the Extreme Ghostbusters share a roster with the 2016 team of Abby, Erin, Holtzmann and Patty. Afterlife and Frozen Empire add the Spenglers, Podcast and Gary Grooberson, plus the Mini-Pufts, who are filed as marshmallow, like their big brother. The cartoon ghosts are the hardest part of any Ghostbusters Wordle. Samhain, the Boogieman, Killerwatt and the Grundel are all from The Real Ghostbusters, and unless you had the toys they're tough to place.
