Wordle becoming a global sensation, enterprising game mavens have concocted multiple spinoffs to cash in on the New York Times-owned puzzle’s popularity.These offshoot brainteasers range from everything from gourmand-themed guessing games to the NFL-inspired Wordle spinoff Weddle and everything in between.They generally copy the format of Josh Wardle’s original puzzle — in which players try and guess a new word each day in under six tries — but, with some exceptions, skew more fun than frustrating. Indeed, Wordle recently come under fire on social media for being decidedly too difficult.

In light of many players’ seeming inability to play Wordle effectively, the New York Times has released a “judgmental,” feedback-providing “WordleBot” that critiques users’ techniques and tells them how they could do better.“WordleBot is a tool that will take your completed Wordle and analyze it for you,” wrote the New York Times of their daily brain game, the object of which is to guess a five-letter word within six tries.The online vocab coach — dubbed “Your Daily Wordle Companion” on their site — allegedly helps Wordlers by grading their prowess in each game. It then informs “you at each turn what, if anything, you could have done differently” — think: a nagging mother-in-law if she was an advanced AI assistant suggesting skill tips.The move follows a flurry of complaints from Wordle-weary players, who have deemed the brain teaser decidedly too hard.

I thought the whole point of the game was that the answer was universal.”The Times subsequently told Mashable that they had replaced “HARRY” with the word “STOVE” as the day’s correct answer as they are in the process of “removing obscure or potentially insensitive words” from the game.

New York Times-owned brain game’s alleged difficulty, weary Wordle players are apparently resorting to an unfortunate tactic to beat it — cheating. A recent study by data compiler Wordfinderx found that online answer searches increased 196% since the Times acquired the puzzle, in which players get five attempts to guess a new five-letter word each day.“Cheating for the game is at an all-time high and only growing,” read the study.The data compiler discovered the troubling trend by analyzing “Google Trends data over the past three months” to see how often Wordlers looked up answers online, per the research.They found that in December, before the Times’ acquisition in January, Google search interest for the topic “today’s wordle'” registered a “0” on a scale from 0-100.
