I've seen a lot of people complaining that #Wordle is harder since the NY Times took over. While the NY Times have changed the word list (which is still publicly viewable), it was only to remove words not add them.Permalink On Internet Archive

But I think this reveals something interesting about people's (correct and valid) willingness to criticise a faceless corporation rather than criticise a specific person. It was a challenge when Wardle's Wordle had a hard word and it's an annoyance when the NY Times Wordle does.Permalink On Internet Archive

In other words, the NY Times could have changed nothing about the game and it would still have been definitively worse because it's now owned by a corporation and intuitively a lot of people feel that.Permalink On Internet Archive
