Not sure why you're grayed out - no, you cannot copywrite gameplay. The name "Wordle" could be protected, though, which is probably the case here.
In any case, Wordle is too damn easy. Don't think I've ever lost. I recommend sedecordle for word enjoyers
- CannisterFlux 3y agoYeah I stopped playing it pretty quickly. There was that not-wordle game where you had to not get the word. It made me realise just how tricky failing wordle was. I still do "where taken", which is photos of countries, tradle for oec trade commodities and guess the game for video games. They're all far more interesting than guessing some random word.
- lastofthemojito 3y agoPerhaps that was Don't Wordle? That was eye-opening to me too. Play it before NYT sues it out of existence I guess: https://dontwordle.com https://dontwordle.com
- CannisterFlux 3y agoYeah that's the one.
- standardly 3y agoWow, that seems super hard but unusable on desktop for me. No native keyboard support? I could overlook that, but the letter reveal is extremely slow to load for me. Could be an issue on my end.
- autoexec 3y agoDoes it use the same wordlist as wordle or have they specifically chosen words that would be impossible to not get?
- CannisterFlux 3y agoI don't know if it was the same list, but the words were possible to not get.
- Fnoord 3y agoHere's a curated awesome-wordle list [1]. Back in the days (as if it is long ago) I used a different one and had quite some fun with some of the clones (I didn't check this specific one). [1] https://github.com/prakhar897/awesome-wordle https://github.com/prakhar897/awesome-wordle
- extraduder_ire 3y agoThis repo still being up shows they probably didn't just auto-takedown every repo that has the word "wordle" in its name at least. Often not the case with DMCA abuse.
- lbourdages 3y agoSemantle is nice but very difficult. You have unlimited tries, though.
- leereeves 3y agoJust tried Semantle, which I hadn't heard of before. I don't want to spoil today's puzzle, but after getting a few hints and giving up to get the answer, I don't see any relation between the hints and the answer. (The similarity scores are word2vec cosine similarity, and that's fun to see in action, but the results make me think word2vec isn't that good.) Edit: I tried yesterday's word and that was much better. Today's word might just be word2vec's kryptonite.
- lbourdages 3y agoI haven't played a whole lot but sometimes it definitely makes more sense than others.
- kelnos 3y agoWordle is a trademark. That's not what the DMCA is for.
- gnicholas 3y agoThey’re apparently also claiming that the offenders are using forked code, which would be subject to copyright.
