“This guy shamelessly cloned Wordle as an F2P iOS game with IAP and is bragging”

  This is what is wrong with mobile gaming today.

  The (cloned) app -- https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wordle-the-app/id1604016922 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wordle-the-app/id1604016922 Pretty disgusting. --- To report to Apple: - download the app (unfortunately necessary) - go to https://reportaproblem.apple.com https://reportaproblem.apple.com - sign in, pick a reason and the app + describe this issue. Took a few minutes to do it.

    I think there should a way to file a complaint without having to even download the app

  As the replies to that tweet note, Wordle isn't the first game to use the letter mechanic and not the first game to be cloned onto mobile platforms, but the level of shamelessness is new and near-comical. (before he privated his Twitter account, others found tweets from that creator complaining about another app copying his UI/UX)

  Hopefully this will provoke the creator to do something about it. Or not.

  I'll stand up for using the gameplay (although paying for longer words is ridiculous when there's clones with it for free: https://engaging-data.com/wordguessr-wordle/ https://engaging-data.com/wordguessr-wordle/ ), but using the name is indefensible.

  There is also those other guys who shamelessly copied chess and checkers and made tons of mobiles apps, this is outrageous.... /s Wordle is fun but it's not even that original, a mostly identical game aired on french TV for like +30 years (Motus).
