It comes days after fans of the game complained they had lost their high scores since moving to the New York Times website. Reaction: Many people around the world noticed the glitch and headed to Twitter to voice their displeasure The glitch was noticed by Caitlin Welsh, a regular Wordle player and editor for Mashable Australia. Definitely a step up in difficulty over the last couple of days.' Two days in a row of me like, "That word?! Really!?" This win isn't even joyous.'Ī third added: 'I swear since New York Times took over Wordle my vocab has went down the drain.'Īnother wrote: 'NYT going for the "no limited-vocab pleb's allowed" approach to Wordle. One player wrote on Twitter: 'If I was being a cynic, I'd say the NYT are making #Wordle a lot more difficult.'Īnother commented: 'I don't know guys. Wordle just feels different since New York Times took over. Yet social media users - who were left outraged when discovering their winning streaks were not transferred over to the NYT URL - have claimed the words have become 'too random' since moving from the original site. Tuesday's original answer was deemed 'too obscure' by the NYT, and so was replaced with another word with a fairly similar arrangement of letters. However, due to some players still being able to access the original URL .uk/wordle - despite most finding themselves redirected to the NYT website, it has meant there are two correct answers for Tuesday's game.
The game is currently being migrated from the site of its original creator to the New York Times (NYT) website, following its purchase at the end of January for an undisclosed seven-figure sum. Some found themselves in the frustrating position of missing just one letter to solve the puzzle right the way through, but still failing to complete it in six guesses.Īnd earlier this month, an apparent glitch in the game resulted in two different solutions depending on the site used, as well as another hiccup which saw players lose their winning streaks. However, as evidenced by their complaints, many are still struggling with streak-related glitches, with others saying the fix didn't work for them. It added that players needed to 'migrate their stats' to keep their streaks, or that they could use a reset link to do so.

The paper told how they could preserve their streaks. The game had similar streak issues earlier this month, when some players scores did not carry over after the game was moved to the New York Times website. One Twitter user wrote: 'I've been stuck on a 29 streak for a week you’re dead to me!'Īnother asked: 'Anyone else's streak stuck? I'm on 28 and should be on 37.'Īnd another said: 'My streak has been stuck at 27 since NYT took over.'
Fans have been annoyed by changes to the game since it was bought by the NY Times, complaining about 'obscure' answers, glitches, hard-to-guess answers
