I believe the wordle archive copied the look and feel of the game as well as the daily word list. Maybe it’s that combination of look and feel AND word list that made NYT upset?
- contravariant 5y agoI think it's the look and feel that upset NYT, but it's probably the list of words that they used to shut it down. A random list of words is still part of the copyright (even if you reorder them, I think). I don't think there's much NYT can do about someone creating a functionally identical game with a slightly different list of words.
