How are you guys still accessing the original site? I’m always redirected.
The "Wordle" thread

Thanks, @DT. I NEVER would have gotten the alternate and would have been slightly upset about it being a word I wasn't at all familiar with.
Related: I listened to a podcast with the creator of Wordle, and he said he started with a full list of 15,000 5-letter English words and created a "game" for a bored friend where a word would display and she would say whether or not she'd ever heard of that word before. After some final finessing, he ended up with a list of 2,500 words for the game to choose from.

I had a tab in iOS safari that was dedicated to Wordle. I never left the site or refreshed or anything, and because of the way the game/webpage was coded, it never reloaded to launch a new game. I only got pushed over to the NYT site when I manually refreshed the website. As such, I'll never be able to access the original game again, I'm pretty sure.

Yes, I was automatically redirected to the NYT site yesterday and again today because I had the bookmark set for the original UK site.
So far there has been only one word which I didn't recognize when it was shown to be the winning one, and I did a quick google to get the definition.

Looks like I’m not the only one that had this problem LOL. I came very close on the last try though.

I mean I did end up eliminating some important letters with that guess, but I have a strict policy of never abandoning a green letter, no matter what. That's just my personal strategy.
