Getting sick of these words where you can guess 4/5 letters and then it's just a crapshoot going for the last one. Answer was Found, I always guess "Earnt" first, then I think the list was something like Pound, Sound, Round, Bound, and Hound, so that's all my guesses used up. At the last one I was debating between Hound and Mound, so even if I had an extra guess it would've still not been right! And I'm on hard mode so I can't exactly fish for extra letters once I'm 4/5 letters.

I figure this is as good a place as any to post this:

"I have to remind myself of how I felt around that time, and I felt miserable."

Quote

Β 

Wordle creator Josh Wardle recently gave a talk at the Game Developers Conference (here's our summary of it) as part of which he discussed the game's wild success and why he felt, in the end, he had to sell it to the New York Times. The NYT acquired Wordle in January for an undisclosed seven-figure sum, and the grey lady now says over 300,000 people play the game daily.

Β 

Back in the earlier days of Wordle's phenomenal success, however, it was just creating problems for Wardle. Prime among them was the gold rush: as Wordle became more popular, more clones appeared. We've reported on some of the funny and clever variants of Wordle, but here we're talking about straight-up rip-offs that were pretending to be the real thing and trying to make money off it. This was mainly a problem on mobile and, while Apple and Android were responsive in removing these things, it did look a little like whack-a-mole.

Β 

"That isn't money that I would have made, because I said I don't want to make money, but something about [the copies] felt really deeply unpleasant for me," says Wardle (thanks, The Independent). "And so selling to the New York Times was a way for me to walk away from that. I didn't want to be paying a lawyer to issue cease and desists on the game that I'm not making money from."

I hoped he doesn't feel bad about selling out. There is nothing wrong with taking a fat wad of cash and walking away.

One of the few Wordle archives still active and online says you're trapped in an alternate timeline and should be purged.
