Many Slurs are no longer on Wordle’s word list.



There’s been a lot of people who may have tried typing out an NSFW word (or two or five) Maybe due to frustration, or maybe if you felt like it would be the correct answer. After the game was created, the New York Times bought it, And they wouldn’t want any game in their library to get in the way of their reputation. And that is why they have taken away a lot of gendered slurs from Wordle’s internal dictionary. Polygon reported on Friday that the words “bitch”, “whore” and “sluts” have been removed from the game’s word list.

And that means Start when you go ahead and type out any one of those terms. It’ll have the same effect as if you just typed in some random letters (A Gray box will appear saying it isn’t in the world list anymore) If you want it to feel better, Not even any one of those terms were ever the correct answer in the game.

Not every bad profane term out there has been taken off from Wordle’s word list as of yet, but several slang terms for genitalia and other curse words still are going to be removed.

This will be a very family-friendly game now and any offensive words will not be tolerated and always be omitted from consideration, A time spokesperson said to Polygon.

This viral word game, made by developer Josh Wardle for their partner, was purchased by the New York Times for a Low 7 figure amount last month. Also now Wardle has migrated to the New York Times website yesterday entirely, Although there have been a couple of hiccups As some people notice that many statistics we haven’t automatically transferred as the New York Times promised they would. And many new people playing this game have different opinions on the New York Times like game interface and the likelihood that this game could be part of a paywall subscription.

If you are a vulgar-minded person, don’t worry. There’s always another game just like the word, called Lewdle.
