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.
