Huh, I thought HN stripped out emojis from posts. Has that changed, or is there a limited subset that are available?

Maybe because ■ is part if ASCII? Edit: ⬛⬜ work, the colored ones don't.

It is definitely not part of ASCII.

I believe in the actual implementation it's correct. You can confirm a letter is not doubled, when one of the two letters in your guess is gray.

I only played it occasionally and haven’t encountered doubled letters, so I don’t know what the actual response would be. Maybe you’re right.

Posting with such assurance without knowing what the actual response would be, lmao. Very on-brand for HN (and myself too, honestly).

If Yellow/“Maybe” really means “the letter is in the answer but in a different position”, then the final T satisfies this definition. Another commenter points out the actual implementation may deviate from this definition though.

Try TWEET in today's Wordle and you'll see what I mean

:( Spoiled on hacker news, what a world

I blindly trusted the post’s claim that “Maybe” means “the letter is in the answer but in a different position”. If you use that definition, you’ll arrive at the same conclusion.

The post should be updated with the correct definition.

I am trying so hard to not know what Wordle is or how to play. Now it is showing up on Hacker News? Damn. I’ve not had this much trouble since I avoided Sudoku.

The "original" Wordle[0] only lets you play once per day, so if potential addiction is your concern, it shouldn't be a problem. It should take up less than 5 minutes of your time per day.

This is your regular reminder that today's word, and all the upcoming ones, are located in the Wordle minified JS.

Yep, you can try https://wordhoot.com if knowing the answers are accessible somehow decreases your enjoyment of the game.

> Note that all of these 243 possibilities aren't valid in practice. For example YYYYM will never be seen because if the first four letters are correctly placed and the fifth is also in the word, it will be correctly placed. Not true. For example if the correct answer is TWEED and you guess TWEET, then you’ll get YYYYM. Edit: As pointed out by two commenters, the actual implementation contradicts the following claim…
