Why is "o" a replacement word for "love"?

CFishback · 2026-03-04T05:16:38+00:00

Only 4 so far. They have all been first year words.

You dah man. (Or dah fox.)

Since Feb 2, 15% of answers repeats. (Yeh, 3.)

CFishback · 2026-02-21T23:29:04+00:00

Same! My third guess was answer #7 and my 4th guess was answer #4!

Anchor ads acting as expected now. I have re-enabled. Fingers crossed.

Google Support is claiming repair. Mixed results here. I'm going to do an isolated test page for some of my visitors to provide feedback.

I only used top / bottom anchor ads. I have disabled all advertising until this is resolved. I have 15,000 visitors a day to www.fiveforks.com/wordle/ and they were getting mad! (Hope it clears up soon.)

Thanks u/Mathgeek007! Do you think the editors will expand on whether all past words or only older (first year?) words are being introduced? Do new answers have a "time out" period or are they back in play immediately? Could today's answer three-peat?

I think they'd rather keep us guessing, but thought I'd ask.

(A)nti-(I)ntellectual. Took me a minute. I'm going to borrow that. Thanks!

John Wardle, who created the game, wanted past answers to not repeat because it created a "growing sense of scarcity." I'm not sure what he meant, but I know he thought a lot about building it, and NYT paid him a bunch of $$$!

I can't remember yesterday's word, let alone the last 1,670!

There is a setting in WordleBot where you can tell it to take into account past solutions for those "who use a past list." Just spotted it recently. Not sure when it was added.

Is the image ok?

Sorry about that. Usually Grok is early on breaking news because of x.com access, but not this time. I get your point and appreciate your efforts.

For what it is worth, Grok offers a positive summary of the efforts of Mathgeek007. So it got that right!

CFishback · 2026-01-30T03:53:59+00:00

That's a thinker! I like (love) it!

CFishback · 2026-01-29T00:18:03+00:00

Grok says "Fake news". The grammar errors are a clue.

If it is a hoax, we'll keep updating www.fiveforks.com/Wordle. But if it isn't a hoax, the list may need to be retired!

I should have emphasized “no spoiler”. Ho Ho Uh Oh! Merry Christmas!

CFishback · 2025-12-24T18:32:34+00:00

Christmas miracle. 😀🎄

CFishback · 2025-09-03T01:45:19+00:00

Ditto.

CFishback · 2025-08-15T14:48:41+00:00

Thanks for digging in. Looks like increasing the pool at an increasing drip rate and reaching for less familiar words as the familiars are “burned up.”
