Imagine this scenario.
People can easily make a whole game panel of these word guesses, then post a screen shot on social media. Then cancel culture mob takes over.

- rising-sky 5y agoImagine this scenario, you open Wordle to guess the word for the day. You put in your guesses and manage to guess it right, but it's a slur that's been used against you on many occasions and now you have to relive traumatic episodes, when all you wanted was a positive experience?
- bee_rider 5y agoThe game has two word lists -- a "possible solution" set and an "allowed guess" set. They removed: * some words with negative connotations from the solution set * slurs from the allowed guess set As such, I believe there already weren't any slurs in the possible solution set. Or at least they weren't in the group of words which were mentioned as removed here. So, your scenario was already not possible. I think removing the words with negative connotations from the solution set was a great move because, while they aren't slurs, there's no need to give people that negative experience.
