Want unlimited guesses, any time of day, where the program tries to beat you. Meet Absurdle, or Adversarial Wordle! https://qntm.org/wordle

From the explanation:

The mechanics of Absurdle are identical to Wordle, or as close as I can make them. Among other things, they use the same word lists. (There are actually two word lists in Wordle: one is a list of 2,315 words which can appear as answers, and the other is a list of 10,657 rather more obscure words which are allowed as guesses but will never appear as answers.) The major difference is behind the scenes.

Wordle picks a single secret word at the beginning of the game, and then you have to guess it. Absurdle gives the impression of picking a single secret word, but instead what it actually does is consider the entire list of all possible secret words which conform to your guesses so far. Each time you guess, Absurdle prunes its internal list as little as possible, attempting to intentionally prolong the game as much as possible.

Have fun!!

When you follow the link to the rules of 'Absurdle', you'll quickly determine that the game can and will change words as it goes along.  Since I never was very good at hitting a moving target, I'll stick to the basic game for now.  I'm averaging 4 guesses per word as it is.

Part of my old address at Cornell! They already did Gorge, too (when I figured out the repeating letters, bit).
