Wordle goes woke

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).

Sounds like the integrity of the puzzle was at stake. Thanks for straightening that out, Ax.
