Play the Britannica Octordle instead? https://www.britannica.com/games/octordle/
I saw someone share this earlier today also as another option!

Periodic reminder in light of the #nyt strike that #wordle started life as a free, vanilla javascript website with no DRM and not owned by the nyt, and I packed it into a single html file that you can download and run offline or from any site, like this: https://jon-e.net/wordle.html
If anyone has an alternative for the connections game I really liked that one :)
This site has an archive of all the NYT Connections games:
I tried to play this but no idea how it works. I tried the daily and I wrote a word that gave me all colored letters and didn’t let me keep writing. Did I guess the word? No idea…
My friends and I are all giving up our streaks. One is over 650. We don’t cross picket lines.
As long as they don’t ask me to break my Duolingo streak it’s all good. I‘m scared of that owl
It’s a bummer today of all days; I could really use any distraction. But you don’t cross a picket line, power to the striking workers.
A plug for the other lovely daily games: !dailygames@lemmy.zip
And for my favorite one: https://travle.earth/
My current favourite is https://metazooa.com
LARGE was an absolutely terrible guess if you already know that R can’t be in the third spot
terrible only if you want to minimise guess number, pretty good if you want to gather more information (and not lose altogether)
LAGER would give the same information but also have a shot at being correct
Another fun one to try is contexto.me. You guess a word, and an AI gives a score on how close it deems you are to the word.
Why the fuck dinner is closer to brunch then breakfast or lunch??
https://redactle.net/ is a fun one
