It can’t be a copy if it offers distinct features, which the OP lays out factually. It’s not arguable. It’s a fact that OPs game supports languages that the original web app doesn’t. That alone even ignoring the other distinctions should indicate that it is not a clone. You can’t just say “that feature doesn't matter to me because I don’t speak Swedish so it doesn't exist”. You’re deliberately ignoring reality and it’s frankly kinda “racist”. Swedish people can’t play Wordle in their language on iOS because it would be a cheap knockoff of an English website and somehow detract from your appstore browsing and general mobile platform experience? Jeeze…

Unfortunately, they're obviously not distinct enough in Apple's eyes. Also, Swedish or any nationality is not a race, I would drop that train of thought altogether. We have no indication of the many, many other copycat apps that were let through may also already support Swedish. So if that low hanging fruit is covered, scratch that as a distinct feature...

  That’s why I put it in quotes. Point is you cannot categorically exclude an entire population of people from an experience. I don't care what Apple or you think. I’m calling both you out for being insensitive or at best oblivious douchbags and telling you you’re wrong. You are free to disagree but your comment is going dangerously grey so citation needed on your assumption about how many others agree with you.

      I’m just calling it as it is and doing my part to keep this platform free of low effort dime a dozen Apple fanboy bandwagon content. That, at least, you should understand (; You’ve been clearly downvoted and are digging your heels in ignoring facts presented in the article to make some selfish point about how you and Apple have a shared vision about the high road for the app store and everyone agrees so fuck you op. It’s impossible to have a logical discussion with an irrational person and I’ll let your downvotes be the proof of that. Good day to you, too.
