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.)



Honest q: could you get sued for that? Likely at least a cease and desist, right?


There are - literally, and at the moment of this post - 473 referenced Wordle clones in 118 languages. Among those 473 clones, very few derive from the original Wordle rules or layout.

Sure you always can. Will it be ruled against them? Its a pretty trivial and not unique site/game.


Copyright? Patent? Registered design?


Pretty nice implementation, but it's missing the best feature: social sharing


You're in luck! You can view completed puzzles by clicking the grid icon in the top right, and you can copy a Wordle-style sharing blurb by clicking on an individual puzzle.

I'll take the feedback that this feature should definitely be made more obvious.


I like it! However there is no "hard" mode where clues have to be used.


Love it, my girlfriend and I are on puzzle 8 now, thank you. Add a tip jar.
