Wordle today he was hit again as players complained that the answer to the puzzles had too many possible options for the first letter, with many guessing incorrectly and interrupting their winning series.
Fans took yes Twitter to say that the puzzle has become “too difficult” since the New York Times took it today, leaving players puzzled.
Gamers claim to have been able to quickly guess the last four answers, but many permissible first-letter options mean it’s just a guessing game.
Some players said they correctly calculated the five-letter word ending in “ASTY” on the second or third attempt, but still failed because they guessed TASTY, PASTE, QUICK, FATTY and VASTY before they knew the right answer – BAD .
Wordle was rocked again today as players complained that the answer to the puzzles had too many possible options for the first letter, with many guessing incorrectly and interrupting their winning series.
Wordle, which offers only one puzzle a day to keep fans attracted, has amassed millions of players since it went online last October. It was created by New York-based Welsh software engineer Josh Wardle for his girlfriend Palak Shah, who loves word puzzles.
In early November, the simple game – which involved guessing a five-letter word in six attempts – had only 90 players; it is now said to have three million.
However, after the American newspaper bought the game for a seven-figure sum, many players complained that the answers became more difficult, unclear and pretentious.
One person wrote on Twitter today: “How did I have to find out that it sucks that there are so many words with asty.”
Another added: “Who knows that there are so many possibilities?”
“Too many options for this first letter,” added one.
“There are too many options left and all are the last ones I choose,” wrote another.
“All those Wordle 256 Xs with multiple lines of four green – so many words with those five letters,” added one.
One person wrote on Twitter today: “How did I have to find out that it sucks that there are so many words with asty.”
Social media users complain that the NYT has made Wordle “too vague” – but how does the latest words compare to the game’s earlier responses?

This comes only a day after the start of the games Twitter to strike yesterday’s answer, rupee, a Hindi word that is in the Oxford English Dictionary.
The word refers to the currencies of Pakistan, India, Indonesia, the Maldives, Mauritius, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
“The rupee is not even an English word, of course, the New York Times already includes its own program in Wordle,” said one.
“It simply came to our notice then. They must adhere to English words. It just drove me crazy to come up with a word. I don’t consider rupees to be an English word, “added another.
“Really Wordle. Are you a politician now? ”Added another.
Wordle players again criticized the New York Times today after the game gave a vague answer that was considered “political” and “not even English”
Today’s answer, the rupee, is the word for the currencies of Pakistan, India, Indonesia, the Maldives, Mauritius, Nepal and Sri Lanka, marked “not English”, with one person saying, “That doesn’t count
Gamers turned to Twitter to say that the answer – a Hindi word in the Oxford English Dictionary – was used as “too political.”
“No spoilers, but today’s wordle looks like a potential shark jumping moment,” added another.
Others speculate that they guessed the “Rulata” – the Russian currency – because of the war in Ukraine.
“My third guess would be more relevant to current events, as wordle avoids common English words,” said one.
“It simply came to our notice then. I didn’t even think it would be a legal English word, “added another.
“It’s not even English, it may include Swahili words,” said one.
Wordle fans criticized the New York Times again after US players complained that today’s response was “too British”
Dozens of players – who also recently complained that their winning series had not been updated in a week due to a technical error – took to Twitter to express their annoyance at today’s response to “British slang”, which was “Bloke” (pictured) )
This comes days after American Wordle players complained that Thursday’s response – Bloke – was “too British”.
One man wrote, “Good morning, everyone except the one who chose Wordle’s word today.”
Commenting on the word – which is British slang for a man – another Twitter user said: “THIS MUST BE THE MOST BRITISH SLAVE I HAVE SEEN. Damn it.
A third added: “No one uses bloke except the British,” while a fourth said, “Now why does Wordle give me a British word I’ve never heard of?”
Response: Social media users from around the world react to the bloc dispute today
The bloc’s controversy follows further criticism of the game in recent weeks – including that responses such as “sealing” and “agora” are too niche for most players.
Meanwhile, people also expressed their irritation that their results were not updated correctly on the statistics screen.
Many said that the number of days the game showed they played was actually lower than the number of days they played successfully.
In January, the creator sold the game to the New York Times for a “seven-figure sum” and the game migrated to the NYT website.
Since then, players have complained that the game has become more difficult, largely as a result of how niche some of the answer words are. Others point out that the game was wrong.
Fans have been annoyed by changes to the game since it was bought by the NY Times, complaining about “unclear” answers, bugs, hard-to-guess answers
In mid-February, the organization tweeted: “Please open the old URL that was last used to play Wordle. This will automatically redirect you to the NYT Wordle page, carrying your stripes with you. ‘
It adds that players must “migrate their stats” to save their series, or that they can use a reset link to do so.
However, as their complaints show, many are still struggling with stripe problems, with others saying the amendment doesn’t work for them.
One revealed that they lost days following the link, writing: “You just made me click on this link, now I’ve lost four days of winning Wordle. WTF boys. Why do you keep confusing this ?! ‘
Another added: “Same, I lost five days. My series went from 40 to 35. ‘
In addition to technical issues, the game has been criticized for its answers. On Sunday, many Twitter users accused Wordle of “just making up words” when they couldn’t answer correctly because they didn’t recognize the word for the day – which was “sloppy.”
Some joked that the term – waterproof filler and sealant used in construction and repairs – would not be familiar to anyone who has not done DIY
After the transition, many social media users said the game had suddenly become more difficult
