I used "view source" on the pre-NYT version and got a blob of minified javascript that I was able to run through a prettifier and I guess it is decipherable, but was there an earlier, un-minified version? Like every other hacker who has played it, I'm trying to write a personal clone.

#82They've also removed the following from the list of words in future games wench, slave, fibre, agora, pupal, lynch And removed the following from the list of words that are accepted as guesses (in addition to the above ones): gooks, darky, pussy, spick, spics, bitch, fagot, dyked, coons, spiks, sluts, dykey, faggy, homos, chink, dykes, lesbo, kikes, whore Most of those I get, but why did fibre, agora, and pupal get p…
I don't really see the motivation for removing slurs, etc, from the available guess list in a game where you are the only one who sees your guesses. Good of them to take the words with unpleasant associations out of the solutions list, though.
Imagine this scenario.
People can easily make a whole game panel of these word guesses, then post a screen shot on social media. Then cancel culture mob takes over.

#83"why are people acting like Wordle was some Marxist utopian co-op that got bought by Monsanto"[1] my fav tweet from all the vitriol a solo developer is getting for selling their personal project [1] https://twitter.com/quepaso_daniel/status/148858283450784563...
This is a funny tweet, but in some sense it kind of was. It was a mostly universal, fun, communal experience that existed for a short period of time outside the pressures of the profit motive. It was valued for its use and not its exchange, it was free to everyone, and that made it a kind of small commons. I think everyone knew that couldn’t last. It was either going to fade away or get bought. I don’t personally kno…
It's a completely client side implementation. You can download it and point any static webserver at it and it works. I.e. making a perfect clone of it is a minute's work and practically free to host.
So I don't agree that "couldn't last" is true. I mean zombo.com is still around, with essentially the same ongoing maintenance burden.

#84Is there a clone that keeps the old UI and the same answers? (Could possibly scrape the site or twitter posts to determine the answer each day) Wordle isn’t even gone and I already miss it.

I don't see much being held to that standard, for example you can write these words in notepad but nobody has come for Microsoft on this front.

Agora is the leading drug Darknet Marketplace.
That is surely it, it is the only (negative) connotation and incident in culture.

Ahh, that'll do it. Fascinating.
