I have a reasonable vocabulary but I just got the word “copra”. I did get it on the sixth try but only after guessing cobra and realizing there were no letters left that produced words I knew. According to Wikipedia “Copra is the dried coconut kernels of which coconut oil is expelled.” It might be a blind spot in my vocabulary but I haven’t had this happen with wordle. The accessible word list could be considered another genius element of its design.
- TeaVMFan 5y agoYes, designing a dictionary that is both challenging and reasonable is another challenge for games like this. I made a pass through the dictionary after earlier HN feedback, adding some words for guessing and removing some more obscure words. I'll make another pass. Thanks for the feedback!
- TeaVMFan 5y agoOh, I almost forgot, after a Wordii game is over, the word is shown as a hyperlink below the puzzle. The link takes you directly to the definition of the word.
