one player stating: “Something fishy is going on with today’s #Wordle284. My husband and I solved completely different words & both were correct?

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.

Both of these are marked as #wordle284 so which one is right? pic.twitter.com/sfx5dA4Dhj“In an effort to make the puzzle more accessible, we are reviewing the solutions and removing obscure or potentially insensitive words over time,” a spokesperson stated. “HARRY is an example of an obscure word.”After acquiring the game for an undisclosed seven-figure sum two month ago, the New York Times said curse words such as “whore,” “bitch” and “sluts” would no longer be possibilities for the five-letter answers.

They have not disclosed what “inappropriate” words are still being removed from the game. The Post has reached out for further comment.Meanwhile, some “obscure” solutions to the puzzle have angered Wordle players in recent weeks.
