Looks like the NY Times have already started tinkering my daughter and I had different words today??

One of you is likely still on the original "power language UK" site.

The key thing here is that I'm still playing on the original site, powerlanguage.co.uk, where creator Josh Wardle first uploaded the game. Most players have been migrated automatically to the New York Times website, after the company bought the game from Wardle in a seven-figure deal last month — and that group includes my partner, as well as most of the friends in the group chat where we share our results. After losing a 12-day streak when I switched phones, I haven't closed the tab where my current 44-day streak lives, magically refreshing each night at the stroke of 12. (Streaks were, after some brief issues, carried over to the new site, but I am both a huge show-off and selectively superstitious, so I've been putting it off as long as I can just in case.)
It soon became clear that Wordle game 241 was actually two different games, depending on which version of the site you're using.

The entire word list, in order, was visible in the site code for the game from day one, and is still online for anyone who wants to negate the entire point of playing the game. As noted by BoingBoing a few days ago, several words were removed from the list when the Times took over the game. These include, understandably, some loaded terms the NYT clearly preferred to avoid, including SLAVE, LYNCH, and WENCH, but also some less obvious ones, including PUPAL (?), FIBRE (the British English spelling of "fiber")...

and AGORA, the word originally slated for Feb. 15, 2022.

(Some naughty words were also removed from the broader list of valid guesses, but at least there's always Lewdle.)

I reached out to the Times for more information, but Australian journalist Michael Slezak has shared an email from the company that suggests some of the more esoteric words on the original list are being nixed "to keep the puzzle accessible".

So, are the words already predetermined in this list "The entire word list, in order, was visible in the site code for the game from day one, and is still online for anyone who wants to negate the entire point of playing the game." and NYT are pulling some words which now means the two seperate sites are out of step?

Yes I think that’s it why do people fuck with everything? On the plus side her word was much harder than mine

OK. I didn't know this word so after getting 3 letters in the right place I generated a list of all possible words and chose the most likely. Jeez.

I assume you are using the original site. Googling the definition I realised I did recognise the word and it threw up a useful start word assuming wordle recognises it…
