The new word won’t use any of the letter you’ve already ruled out (so if you guess “doors”, for example, the new word won’t have d, o, r, or s).

I know this isn’t exactly a new game, but I thought I’d share it because it is, as the name implies, absurd.

      For some reason, I appreciate that you’re not working towards on specific word from the start but slowly narrowing down the “available words” until one fits.

      I didn’t notice any difference either, until I realised that this is actually how I play wordle already. My first 2, normally 3 guesses are just covering the space of likely letters with no repeats.

    It’s fun for a couple of tries. But I found a set of 3 words that led to the same ends every time

      Nah I’d say that the more words there are, the more information you’ll have to solve other words which makes things easy. I remember trying a 32-word one once and after my 3 starting guesses of choice it was just one word per guess. I think something like Quordle or Octordle (8/10 words) would be better.
