'They called [the owner], said, 'What should we do?' He was like, 'Call the police, can't take any risks. Better be safe than sorry.''
Lincolnwood police said an elderly woman was rescued from being held hostage during a home invasion thanks to her daily Wordle habit.
Police said the victim met the man in-person for the first time after first connecting online, and the encounter turned violent. The man, identified as Kemoy Royal, allegedly wouldn't let her use her phone except to order food. "[We're grateful] knowing that we were there and that being open 24 hours allowed her to have a way to get help," Alice Bermejo's daughter Alicia said.
