If you enjoy clicking things you can spend hours in their cookie consent boxes untickinv the several hundred individual ‘legitimate interest’ tick boxes for individual vendors
I tried playing this as if its wordle & got it in 2 guesses. How do they do this ??? That's next to impossible in wordle & the probalities seem like they should be the same?
One thing I find odd about the rules: it forces you to respect what you've learned via green or yellow tiles, but not gray tiles. The spirit of the rules suggests once you've learned a letter is not in the word, you shouldn't be able to reuse that letter. Perhaps that would simply make the game too difficult, though.

Ublock seems to work with this one.

Well this sure makes Wordle feel a lot easier!
and I still can't believe it took me more than 3 guesses
We are asked to allow hundreds of cookies, not just a few, to play the game.
yes top of hacker news and loaded with tracking information and a popular game so likely to garner lots of attention

It didn't let me guess things that had already been eliminated with gray tiles.
It does - you can type them but it rejects the word when you submit it.
I think this DOES make it way harder than regular wordle.
Isn't that rule 3?
Some of the suggested plays for yellow EA and green H after the first guess:
Not much fun to play with a dictionary like this :-/I'd enjoy it if the rules with some graphics are displayed near the game, for newbies.
e.g. show a word with some green letters and that they have to be in the same spot in the other word. e.g. FUBAR with green B -> __B__
FUBAR with yellow R -> RRRR_ (with gray background and white R to signify "has to be placed somewhere here")
And for the gray letters, I guess.. show them next to the _____ in a trash can?
This is quite fun, but I can’t believe the amount of cookies it wants to set!
I had my ad blocker turned off temporarily and it was a strange experience.
Of course the one time I get it in 2 guesses is in this version
Got to the sixth attempt, 2 words remaining, of course I picked the right one.
I picked the right one out of twelve.
I hope NYT lawyers don't come for you. They did for many other variants of this. Maybe reconsider the name?
Do they go after people using similar names or just any game with similar mechanics?
This is amazing, and incredible difficult (or I'm terrible), after ~10 minutes I can't even get in a third guess!
What does "you have already eliminated the letter T" mean?
You already guessed a word that had a “T” in it, and the game confirmed that “T” is not in the word. So you can’t guess another word with a “T”.
The word doesn't contain the letter T.
It means you previously guessed a word with T in it and it wasn't marked at green (correct spot) or yellow (word contains letter in different spot).
Is the word list complete?
I tried WEIRD and it rejected it as not a word
that "i before e except after c" rule often gets taken too seriously
i think it's kind of beautiful that weird is a weird word
Oh I've messed that one up before
It is too hard to be fun :P
finally a game that respects that I already know all five-letter words and would rather be told not to use them
I see that terrible cookie permission window (62 legitimate interest) and I close the window,
Be happ-ole? (Insert whistling)
The goal isn't explained clearly and simply enough.
The goal is to get mony from clicks in "legitimate interest"
What is legitimate here. You and the site why does any third party have an interest?
Ahahhaha funny! xD
