Daily Mail has a thing about Wordle becoming more difficult since NYT took it over.

I'll put a link here BUT THERE ARE SPOILERS if you have not done today's puzzle.

I will just reproduce one of the complaining tweets. No comment.

Bwahahaha!


I read an article elsewhere that indicated NYT has removed several of the more obscure words from the solution set (which runs through 2027), thus actually making it easier, and also removed some solution words it believes readers/players would find offensive such as wench and slave.

I am up to puzzle 70 as I go through the wordle archive; sometimes it’s just a very lucky guess that has me solving in two or three guesses which I frequently have done. It certainly helps to be a Constant Reader with a large vocabulary. The comments in the DM article declaring today's solution an obscure word that very few people would know left me somewhat puzzled - but I have to remind myself that a great many people are not big readers once they depart the confines of mandatory education.

Welcome to Newspeak, everyone.

So now the NYT is going to start eliminating words — like SLAVE and WENCH — because they ***MIGHT*** offend someone?   This is double-plus-ungood.

Betcha 'KRAUT' — which is an anti-German slur to some people — or 'CAJUN' remains in the word list, though, and maybe even 'SKANK' or 'WHORE'.   I'll have to wait until after midnight to see if they work, although FWIW all four of my words, as well as the two BSG cited, do not flag as unacceptable (in case you didn't know, if a misspelled word, a non-word like 'THICC', or a place name –'TULSA', for example, or 'OMAHA' – is entered in Dordle, the letters turn red to indicate that the word is not on the game's list of usable words.  However, 'XEROX' is allowed ... go figure.).

How the heck did I take 5 tries when I had 3 letters in the right place on the first quess? Like this...

Dordle took a loss. Would have lost even with another guess, as I was debating between 2 words and neither turned out to be it.

Managed to solve the Quordle in the nick of time... wasted a guess with a missing letter but it did reveal the remaining letters so it was just a matter of arranging them.
