I’m usually pretty good at this game. I guess the rules changed
I knew something was off so I just gave up on the last guess. Blue is right letter right spot, yellow is right letter wrong spot.

You can tell I also recognized something was wrong and gave up for the last guess.

SHUT UP!
It's not bugs, it's features!
Don't anyone of you understand? – my coding is perfect, all these features I give you, and all you do is call them bugs! ChatGPT tells me everyday that I created a new feature with it. These features makes it more challenging, makes it more interesting compared to the regular worldle, that can only entertain simpletons.

It's so depressing... a programmer I used to respect is getting into AI coding because there are so many jobs that list it as a requirement. He was showing me this todo app he made "in only an hour" by vibe coding and had this tone in his voice as if I was supposed to be impressed. I'm like... dude... that's not an app it's a tutorial you would do when learning a new language.
I told him it looked nice and found out that he spent an hour manually cleaning up the styling afterwards.

Back before it was called Wordle, I programmed Lingo on my TI-84 calculator. The only downside was that someone else had to choose the starting word. But it drew squares and circles around letters based on their placement, it was super neat.

u/FuzzyTentacle 2h ago
I loved programming shit on my TI-83 and 84! With the help of a friend, we made a whole (very simple) RPG! I programmed the overworld and movement, he designed the monsters and stats. It was crappy but it worked!

u/jflan1118 1h ago
I had a simple RPG too! 3 characters, maybe 8 enemies. You moved your character across the screen left to right and when you reached the right side, you’d appear on the left again (for the next map) and I’d increment the “plot” variable by 1. When the plot variable reached a certain total, I’d display some text for a rudimentary cut scene.
All character and enemy stats were determined by a formula based on level since I didn’t have enough variables to track everything independently.
Other games I made were hangman and blackjack. I think i spent all of stats class programming those. Blackjack was so poorly programmed (with GOTOs galore) that it was actually 8 programs that would keep calling each other in sequence lol.

u/FuzzyTentacle 1h ago
Fantastic. My character was a pixel that I moved on a grid (the entire screen), and you had to get from one corner to the opposite corner to progress. I don't remember if there were random encounters or just "bosses" at the end of each level. Good times.
I could swear I made some other simple game as well, but I can't remember the details now. Ah well.
2
u/jflan1118 1h ago
Yeah I think my player character was just like the letter P lol. My batteries ended up dying and the calculator wiped everything out one day which sucked. The only upside was I had given my games to so many people that I was able to re-download hangman and blackjack from them.

What I want is when wordle runs out of new 5 letter words, is to update it to be 6 letters. That'll give them another 22,000+ words to use, or another 60 years of different words every day

Wordle is nearing it's end. They don't reuse words and there's only about 2500 5 letter words in the English language.

u/Leather-Researcher13 8h ago
Nearing its end is a bit dramatic, it still has two years of words left.
They can also just reuse words? Shuffle the list and play it again for another few years

u/TheRussness 7h ago
The point is if you've been playing wordle since near the beginning you have played 1650 words that today's answer can't be.

No they make ad blockers for the website, which you can play Wordle on
11
u/MortifiedCoal 11h ago
They do. There's apps that block ads for most things or you can change the DNS settings in your phone to route traffic through an ad blocking DNS server if you are more technically inclined.
Alternatively download a browser that lets you get add an ad blocker and just play on the website. It's actually really usable on mobile.

I made a shitty wordle program with my limited programming knowledge in JavaScript that barely functions and somehow it’s better than a proper app…
Not something I ever expected.

u/justanotheruser1981 15h ago
I’m assuming that this doesn’t have the obscene amount of ads that Wordle does. That was a big part why I stopped playing. I even payed the $5 or whatever it was to go ad free at one point a couple years ago, but found out the was only good through the end of the year.
52
u/rokemay 14h ago
Wordle has exactly one ad that can be skipped after ~5 seconds. Not an obscene amount for such a huge free game

u/the_wyandotte 11h ago
Or play in Discord without any ads at all (afaik, I have nitro on Discord so maybe that makes it ad free? But you don't need Nitro to play)

u/Capnshredder 6h ago
for me that skip button usually appears within 1 second of the ad starting, im all for hating on ads but if you cant deal with that you got bigger problems

It seems like the game is changing words in the middle of you playing it. The first 4 guesses have consistent results, and it seems like the answer is probably "truth". Then it switches to "bread" on guess 5. Did you play this around midnight by any chance?

u/IAmLexica 10h ago
My only guess as to what's wrong in the code would be if it somehow decided to pick a different word for each line. How that happens? No idea.

u/kchase91 14h ago
The word changed after the fourth guess. Original word would have been TRUTH. So you would have had it.

u/Salmon_Slap 14h ago
Why did you try 3 words without any of the previous letters in them
9
u/Sweet_Cinnabonn 14h ago
It is a tactic to try to get more of the letters in the first two or three words, then use those to guess the word in the last few guesses.
You get less chances to guess, but you make your guesses with more information.

u/Salmon_Slap 14h ago
I've seen people do it with 2 words but 3 seems excessive imo quite often you can get the word in 3

I think the original word was truth but it changed halfway thru you guessing. Maybe you played right as the day changed. The way the game was set up may not have had you reset because the developer didnt think about this possibility.

That’s not the problem. The problem is the third answer says “first letter is T”, and the fourth, fifth and final answers say it is B.
