Wordle goes woke: Vows to remove ‘potentially insensitive words’

Wordle becoming a global sensation, enterprising game mavens have concocted multiple spinoffs to cash in on the New York Times-owned puzzle’s popularity.These offshoot brainteasers range from everything from gourmand-themed guessing games to the NFL-inspired Wordle spinoff Weddle and everything in between.They generally copy the format of Josh Wardle’s original puzzle — in which players try and guess a new word each day in under six tries — but, with some exceptions, skew more fun than frustrating. Indeed, Wordle recently come under fire on social media for being decidedly too difficult.

Tracy Letts’ The Minutes would be one of the most thrilling new plays on Broadway this season even if recent real-life events hadn’t made it seem as uncanny as it is funny and, ultimately, disarming.

New York Times has confirmed the best opening word to use while playing Worlde.Since the game launched in October 2021, there’s been plenty of speculation about the optimal word to use when starting a game. One mathematician created an automated bot to test over 12,000 words, while online urban legend suggests words like ‘Irate’ or ‘Salet’ are best because of their vowels.In creating their WordleBot, though, New York Times has found ‘Crane’ to be the best place to start while ‘Crate’, ‘Slate’, ‘Slant’ and ‘Trace’ are also very good guesses, as are ‘Lance’, ‘Carte’, ‘Least’ and ‘Trice’.However, ‘Crane’ has never been the actual answer to Wordle.Explaining their work, New York Times said: “WordleBot solves the 2,309 possible Wordles using the fewest number of guesses when it starts with ‘Crane’ in normal mode and ‘Dealt’ in hard mode”, a version of Wordle where “any revealed hints must be used in subsequent guesses.

Wordle game.After playing Wordle, the free-to-use WordleBot assesses skill (“did you minimise the expected number of turns it would take to solve the puzzle?”) and luck (“did your guesses eliminate more solutions than expected?) before giving players a percentage score, as well as the daily average.

In light of many players’ seeming inability to play Wordle effectively, the New York Times has released a “judgmental,” feedback-providing “WordleBot” that critiques users’ techniques and tells them how they could do better.“WordleBot is a tool that will take your completed Wordle and analyze it for you,” wrote the New York Times of their daily brain game, the object of which is to guess a five-letter word within six tries.The online vocab coach — dubbed “Your Daily Wordle Companion” on their site — allegedly helps Wordlers by grading their prowess in each game. It then informs “you at each turn what, if anything, you could have done differently” — think: a nagging mother-in-law if she was an advanced AI assistant suggesting skill tips.The move follows a flurry of complaints from Wordle-weary players, who have deemed the brain teaser decidedly too hard.
