I plan to bow out of NYT #Wordle after tomorrow. I’ll miss the friendly competition with the #OldGal & #YoungPups. Their announcement that they’ll start reusing previous answers as of Monday Feb, 2 was enough to put me over the edge, but tbh, it's something I’ve been thinking about for a while. I just don’t want to support NYT in any way.

Not trying to lead a secession… if others are of the same mind and want to play an alternate version like many did during the guild strike, I’d love it.

@jswright61

I think this is probably the best alternative:
https://jon-e.net/wordle.html

Also,
https://categories.clevergoat.com
is a good alternative to Connections.

Or... doesn't blocking the ads mean they won't get the ad revenue?

Wordle - A daily word game

Guess the hidden word in 6 tries. A new puzzle is available each day.

@Lefthandbass59 @jswright61
The version of wordle at <Jon-e.net/wordle.html> is by the fellow who invented Wordle, Josh Wardle, according to the website <https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk>. Dunno if he negotiated the right to keep using his code (and the name) when he sold it to the NYT. But that’s a likely guess knowing what I know so far. I’ll see if I can find out more. #youngpups #OldGal
