I’m an addict. I admit it. Every day I play wordle, wordle español, wordle português, dordle, (2 simultaneous) quordle (4 simultaneous), worldle (geography) and nerdle (arithmetic).

Wordle answer changed to avoid fraught word, NY Times says
The New York Times moved swiftly to change Monday’s answer to its daily Wordle puzzle out of fear that it would be seen as some sort of commentary on the debate over abortion rights.

It was @George-K who took the precaution of putting certain words within the spoiler tags to avoid triggering people.
The NY Times' rationale for removing certain words from their puzzle is to avoid coincidence with the news of the day, one that I agree with because words that are closely tied to the news of the day will be more likely to be more quickly guessed (because more readers are more likely to already have those words in mind from reading the news).
