hadnt heard of it till a couple weeks back
npr did a story

new york times has a story this week
apparently they guy who owned it sold it because there were so many knocksoffs and he didnt have the resources to defend it properly

you can only play once a day i believe?

Yeah, one a day...at least for the NYT.
I like that they have a timer to tell you when the next one starts...midnight break point for EST.

I use the same 2 words to start every time...knocks out all 5 vowels and 5 common consonants.
But yesterday it left me 0 for 10 after those first two guesses...very rare.

Got today's in 5 again.

is it true wordle uses a fixed number of potential words?

something like 12thousand
but as you ink letters is potentials drop significantly

Fuk!......lost my first one today.

Twice used letters can trick you.

Yes, which is why knocking down vowels is important.
A lot of folks use AUDIO or ADIEU as their first word for that very reason.
