care to elaborate?
The NYT Crossword minis release at 7pm PDT so everyone gets it at the same time. This way, everyone can corroborate times, talk about the puzzle, etc. if you want. With Wordle releasing at 12am your timezone, it gets confusing when someone could be talking about the next day's or previous day's puzzle.
I've been working on a clean-room reimplementation that uses the original word list and is visually similar to the original, but also allows for playing unlimited puzzles each day: https://wrd.li (The order of the solutions is different than the original, and is randomized each day.)

It's a brand the nyt considered worth 7 figures.
Interesting. This game has been on Dutch television (Lingo) since I was a small child. (At least if not longer.) what is so special about it?
Sometimes it really is that simple.
Is 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.

So this is a bit silly, but I got today's Wordle with a somewhat lewd slang for a female body part for the second word. Tried replicating in the NYT version, and said it wasn't in the word list.

This seems like quite a dismissive comment. I think there is a lot to be said for the presentation, polish, how easy it is to share, and the idea that everyone sees the exact same puzzle once per day, making it viral as you compete with your friends. I've never seen grep do that on its own.
I mean maybe if we used shuf with the same seed value for everyone it would work.
I bet not even 10% of Wordle players know what the command line is, nevermind shuf...

Except they have done nothing other than move it from his personal URL to their own.
And added trackers and a cookie popup to it, and censored the word lists (guess and solution). And their own statement about it implied they intend to put it behind a paywall eventually (wording was something like "it will initially remain free for new and existing users").

I simply downloaded the HTML and rehosted it on my site: https://matthew.science/wordle.html
Glad that some remnants of ye olde internet are still out there.
