      I play Worldle, Wordle, Jumble , backgammon and sometimes bridge. Oh, and Words With Friends, but only the scrabble with opponents. None of teh other extraneous crap where they try to get money or ads.

        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).

        That’s my breakfast entertainment.

          I figured u more as a nytimes crossword person.

          That’s me, I think I’ve tried every nytimes crossword of the last ten years.

          I have mon tue wed down. Thursdays a bit harder. Fri sat impossible. Sunday like a large Thursday.

          Wordle is ok but I prefer the crossword.

            Spoilers inserted so as to not trigger people.

            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.

            The game, which became a sensation late last year and was bought by The Times in January, gives users six tries to guess a different five-letter word each day.

            Yet The Times scrambled when it discovered that Monday’s word, which had been entered into Wordle’s computer program last year, was

            click to show

            “fetus.”

            The timing was particularly fraught given last week’s leaked report of a draft U.S. Supreme Court decision that would strike down a 50-year-old ruling governing the ability of women to receive abortions.

            The appearance of

            click to show

            “fetus”
            was “entirely unintentional and a coincidence,” the newspaper said in a message to readers on Monday.

            "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              I saw that. Stupid. It's a word. Period.

              I'd ask are we really that easily triggered that one would draw that nonexistent connection, but I already know the answer.

                  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).
