The New York Times confirms it has removed a number of answers from Wordle, including the British spelling of ‘fibre’.
Despite only launching in October last year, it has nearly 3 million players across the world and versions of it are appearing in other languages.
It was acquired by the New York Times last month for an undisclosed price "in the low seven figures", alongside a careful caveat that it would “initially remain free to new and existing players”.When the website-only word game migrated to the New York Times website, users were assured game statistics — things like win streaks and win percentages — would be transferred along with it.As one user wrote: "I don’t come to Wordle to be challenged.
Brainteasers like 'caulk' and 'aloft' prompted suggestions the NYT had taken the answer sheet in their own creative direction.But it was quickly debunked by tech outlets, who concluded it was all a bit of a coincidence and perhaps you're just not as smart as you think you are.
