I note that all future Wordle words are already known, so it would be trivial to make a "compatible" Wordle.

I note that all future Wordle words are already known, so it would be trivial to make a "compatible" Wordle.
- omnicognate 5y agoTrivial and, presumably, illegal.
- zeroonetwothree 5y agoHow could it possibly be illegal? There is no IP protection for Date % words.length
- pseudalopex 5y agoCopyright. Wardle and his partner chose the words.
- omnicognate 5y agoThat's what I'd expect, copyright on the word list. However, IANAL and I would love to see some proper analysis on the legal status of clones, especially identical ones with the same word list. You can have a perfect clone of wordle running in a couple of minutes, but I'm certain that would be copyright infringement.
- heckerhut 5y agoThere is a copyright on databases for exactly that reason.
