Wordle has well and truly taken the internet by storm since it emerged online late last year, despite the simple nature of the game.
The game sees players allowed six attempts at guessing a mysterious five-letter word, with the application giving you feedback on how close you are to a match with each attempt.
Players have been posting their results and streak numbers on social media since the game properly took off following last year’s festive period.
And while the enjoyment has been very evident to see over the past weeks, a number of people were left fuming at today’s ‘misspelled’ word.
If you’re in the habit of avoiding any hints on the word of the day, then you might want to give the next few paragraphs a miss.
Today’s word was ‘humor’ - and no, we have not misspelled ‘humour’, but it is actually the way it appears in the US version of the English dictionary.
Judging by the social media reaction to today’s word, it’s fair to say that a number of players in the UK were not too happy.
One wrote: “Well Wordle, that’s not playing fair.”
Another said: “Hey Wordle, that’s not how you spell it.”
“Wordle a farce today, all because Americans can’t spell properly”, another wrote.
Interestingly, Wordle is the love child of Welsh-born software engineer Josh Wardle - but he is now based in New York, which may explain the decision behind the American spelling.
Last Monday, it was revealed that US newspaper The New York Times had paid a ‘low seven-figure’ fee to acquire the game.
The publication described Wordle as ‘stimulating’ and ‘wildly popular’ when announcing the deal.
A spokesperson for The New York Times confirmed that the game will remain free to play for new and existing players, with no changes being made to its gameplay.
