Oh well: [Archive] Kris on Twitter: "L> add AI there and you've got a paper R> I just had a look, and that thing is pretty much completely offline. the JS contains the entire dictionary C> well would you look at that, might want to use the actual dictionary then "

Actually, it was dead easy to copy the sources to a gist and host the gist:

  • [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "Saved the sources minus the PNG logo (won't work in a gist): ..."
    • [Wayback/Archive] https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/
  • [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "Hosted, it works fine: ..."
    • [Wayback/Archive] Wordle - A daily word game

And of course someone distilled the wordle word solutions list into some statistics:

  • [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "Letter frequencies at ..."
    • [Wayback/Archive] Wordle Letter Frequency Cribs

More was done at [Wayback/Archive] Reverse Engineering Wordle | Robert Reichel.

Which got updated to the statistics of the union of solution and accepted words list

  • at [Wayback/Archive] Wordle Letter Frequency Cribs
  • based on the repository [Wayback/Archive] cwlucas41/wordle-analysis: analysis scripts to help with the game Wordle
  • with sh scripts for generating statistics in [Wayback/Archive] wordle-analysis/analysis-scripts at main · cwlucas41/wordle-analysis
  • which also has a solution solver written in Python that uses both the solutions list (called valid) and accepted words (called accepted) [Wayback/Archive] wordle-analysis/solver.py at main · cwlucas41/wordle-analysis
  • of course these two lists are also used by the python wordle game at [Wayback/Archive] wordle-analysis/wordle.py at main · cwlucas41/wordle-analysis

Another tool that helps solving is [Wayback/Archive] willthames/wordle-guesses which I found via [Archive] Will Thames on Twitter: "I spent some of my New Year's Day writing a program to generate the best first two guesses for Wordle. Time well spent, I think: ...".

Jilles then posted a video on how to view the source [Archive] Jilles🏳️‍🌈 on Twitter: "How to cheat on #wordle ...".

To make Wordle even harder, there is Absurdle, an adversorial version of Wordle that decides the word upon your input until it runs out of decisions:

  • [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "Cool other "wordle" ..."
    • [Archive] qntm on Twitter: "Threw together an adversarial version of Wordle. Good luck https://t.co/kNfKxUL3YO"
      • [Wayback/Archive] Absurdle: Adversarial Wordle @ Things Of Interest
  • [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "Interesting: ..."
    • [Wayback/Archive] Absurdle: Adversarial Wordle @ Things Of Interest
    • [Archive] Zach Wegner on Twitter: "Optimal play is at most 4 guesses ..."
    • [Archive] Zach Wegner on Twitter: "Yep, see this subthread, the tiebreaking behavior was changed: ... You can just guess "pupal" as the fourth word now."
      • [Archive] qntm on Twitter: "To those who care: I have made a small change to the Absurdle algorithm which means that its behaviour is now not only deterministic but well-defined and predictable. Check the code to see how it works"

A Dutch and German version were added as Woordle and Wordle (which missed being called WorDeL and Wortle):

  • [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "There is also a Dutch version: ... which shares using English text (confusing that not all parts are translated). (Via ...)"
    • [Archive] Ulrica de la Mar 🎬 on Twitter: "ik gebruik de nederlandse ..."
    • [Wayback/Archive] Woordle - Een dagelijks woordspelletje
  • [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "And a German version which uses WORDLE🇩🇪 as name (so @Felienne can still distinguish it in the patterns) ... Via @Narkosemutti"
    • [Wayback/Archive] Wordle auf Deutsch💬 online & kostenlos spielen
    • [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "That is so cool! In the mean time, enjoy this German "Wordle": ..."
      • [Archive] Adrian Daub on Twitter: "Hey there's Wordle in German now! 🟥🟩🟥🟥🟨🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟩🟨🟨🟥🟩🟥🟨🟨🟥🟥🟨🟥🟥🟩🟩🟩🟥🟩🟥🟥🟨🟨🟥🟥🟨🟥🟩🟩🟩🟥🟩🟨🟥🟥🟩🟥🟨🟥🟨🟩🟩🟨"

Shortly followed by another German version (always the Austrians setting themselves apart), and a French one (which messed Le Word as perfect name):

  • [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "The Austrians thought there was not enough humour in the German version, so made their own quaint version: ... (via @FeeMaike and @adriandaub)"
    • [Archive] 🔴 Holla die Waldfee 🔴 on Twitter: "There is indeed 😄  Wordle 213 5/6 ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟨🟨🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩"
      • [Wayback/Archive] Wordle - Das tägliche Wortspiel (Wordle auf Deutsch)
  • [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "Unlike the Germans and Austrians missing WortLe, the French went with their own Mot for Word: Le Mot (but dit name their Twitter account after Wordle). ... Via @Ghislain and @WordleFR"
    • [Archive] Ghislain SILLAUME on Twitter: "@adriandaub And here is (not kidding...): Le Mot (@WordleFR) #9 2/6 ⬛⬛⬛🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ..."
      • [Wayback/Archive] Le Mot - Wordle en français

There is also a four-letter word edition, actually two of them:

  • [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "Sometimes people are fed up, so revert to four-letter words. Via @Marco_Langbroek: Hi Sweardle! https://t.co/sabiqZrDiT"
    • [Archive] Dr Marco Langbroek 💉💉💉 x3 #vaccinate on Twitter: "Dit is veel leuker dan Wordle: Sweardle day 16 4/4 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛🟨⬛🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩🟩"
      • [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "@Marco_Langbroek Dank voor de tip. Er lijken er zelfs twee te zijn. ..."
        • [Wayback/Archive] Sweardle - the 4 letter word guessing game
        • [Wayback/Archive] sweardle (the original and still the OK-est)
          • which is based on [Wayback/Archive] Worble.

There is a Prime version too:

  • [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "Oh look, a prime version by @millerdl via @ionicasmeets: ..."
    • [Archive] DavidLawrenceMiller on Twitter: "friends, I did a bad thing... introducing Primel, the "fun" "game" where you guess a 5 digit prime number (each guess must be a prime) ... sorry. ..."
      • [Wayback/Archive] Primel

Felienne posted a cool analysis bot that watches Wordle tweets and uses them to estimate the correct Wordle solution:

  • [Archive] /Fay-lee-nuh/ on Twitter: "IT IS DONE!!! @MetaWordle Account will post a try every day around CET noon, clearly don't follow the account if you don't want to see spoilers!"
    • [Archive] MetaWordle (@MetaWordle)

      Solving Wordle daily by observing the colored squares people post on Twitter. A bot by @rix0rrr and @felienne.

    • [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "@fm_volker @isotopp @colmmacc @cwlucas41 @willthames @jilles_com @Felienne @Narkosemutti Yesterday, @Felienne finished her bot. I hope it gets extended to the Dutch and German versions. ..."

Oh, there is a single Letterle, which on average takes you some 13 tries when disregarding letter frequencies (which likely should not matter):

  • [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "Now there is Letterle too (thanks @isotopp!): ... It is at edjefferson.com/letterle"
    • [Archive] Kris on Twitter: "Letterle 9/26 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ..."
      • [Wayback/Archive] Letterle

When you think Absurdle was going far, look at what happened Wordlinator:

  • [Archive] Kim Zetter on Twitter: ""Twitter has banned @wordlinator, a bot that replied to people's Wordle posts with rude messages that include spoilers for the next day's game. The account's spoilers appeared to be accurate (the key is easily accessible in the game's code)" ..."
    • [Wayback/Archive] Twitter suspends Wordle-ruining bot - The Verge

Two search tools that are very useful:

  • [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "And a grep search through the Wordle list at ... by ... (thanks @hbeckpdx!)"
    • [Archive] Hannah Kolbeck 🏳️‍⚧️ on Twitter: "lol https://t.co/rXKafycLvB"
      • [Archive] Hannah Kolbeck 🏳️‍⚧️ on Twitter: "Wordle clone that gives you in-window access to a grep search of a dictionary"
      • [Wayback/Archive] Grepple
    • Note: [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "@hbeckpdx I tried playing around with negative lookahead but ut could not getting this to work: grep ^(?!.*g).d.l.$"
      • [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "@hbeckpdx That's how I ended up at ..."
        • [Wayback/Archive] Words in 5 letters with D L O without A E G I N R S T W Y
      • [Archive] Hannah Kolbeck 🏳️‍⚧️ on Twitter: "@jpluimers It supports anything js does"
        • [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: "@hbeckpdx I need to learn JavaScript then (: So many things to do. So little time (literally, LAR-syndrome is bitch eating away lots of time and energy)."
  • [Wayback/Archive] Words in 5 letters
    • Which is a refined link of he broader [Wayback/Archive] Lots of Words - The word search engine

If you are desperate, these solvers can help; the second one is more flexible, the first one faster, and the last one is pure cheating:

  3. [Wayback/Archive] Wordle Answers (February 2022) - Today's Solution

I tried referencing all posts in the somewhat broken thread at:

  • [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @jpluimers on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App: Saved the sources minus the PNG logo (won't work in a gist)
  • [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @jpluimers on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App: That is so cool! In the mean time, enjoy this German "Wordle"

Some links that did not make it into that thread (yet):

  • [Wayback/Archive] lynn/hello-wordl: Wordle clone you can play forever
    • [Wayback/Archive] hello wordl
    • Via [Archive] Jane McClure on Twitter: "@richardosman helloworld.net",

  • Dual wordle: [Wayback/Archive] dordle by zaratustra
    • Via [Archive] Matthew Berkeley on Twitter: "@richardosman I recently came across Dordle, which is basically a double Wordle - you have 7 guesses to find 2 words, and they're a bit more challenging than Wordle words too. zaratustra.itch.io/dordle"

    • Via [Archive] Jamie. on Twitter: "@richardosman I've been using demoman.net/etcetera/werdle/ when I want to try a really daft first word. No stats but you can share encrypted messages that you can only read if you know today's word"

    • Via[Archive] Christopher on Twitter: "@richardosman You can get it for the BBC Micro now. Not sure about sharing your results on Twitter though! www.bbcmicro.co.uk/game.php?id=4073"

Having good start words and an on-line dictionary help:

  • [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers @wiert@mastodon.social on Twitter: "New start triplet: - realo - dints - humpy Wordle 216 4/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩"

  • [Wayback/Archive] Words in 5 letters with H I T Y without A D E L M N O P R S U

And there is always a really fast way: [Wayback/Archive] Wordle Solver | Not Fun at Parties (explained in [Wayback/Archive] Ruining the fun: a Wordle auto-solver - by Tom)
