#WQuers FYI - less than 700 to go?

From qntm.org/absurdle :

There are actually two word lists in Wordle: one is a list of 2,315 words which can appear as answers, and the other is a list of 10,657 rather more obscure words which are allowed as guesses but will never appear as answers.
Absurdle
Absurdle is an adversarial variant of the charming and (currently) viral word guessing game Wordle. The mechanics of Absurdle are identical to Wordle, or as close as I can make them. Among other thing...

Cypress www.cypress.io is an end-to-end website testing framework. Absurdle is a hostile, adversarial variant of Wordle which I created back when Wordle originally took off. Absurdle is closed-source and I did not use Cypress to develop it (I used CodeceptJS)

Maybe someone at the New York Times is attempting to clone Absurdle and accidentally ran their E2E tests against my website instead of theirs 🤔

The NYT has been a little fussy about Wordle variants in the past, Absurdle was unaffected though www.npr.org/2024/03/13/1...

For the record, I have never made a penny from Absurdle. I created it for fun and host it at my own expense

As Tom correctly notes, Wordle gets "Any revealed hints must be used in subsequent guesses" hopelessly wrong.

Absurdle gets itright. In Hard Mode, Absurdle won't even allow that second guess, as the "R" in "RULES" has already been ruled out qntm.org/files/absurd...

Here's how you do it: Play "Absurdle" and use whatever word you end up with as the first prompt for Wordle, played in "Hard Mode" of course:

I also don't think it directly competes with Wordle in any way

* No daily challenge, Absurdle is always the same and totally deterministic
* Qualitatively a very different game to play. Exercises different word skills
* Much more difficult, both to play and to analyse

*It kept hearing about it but what convinced me to pick it up was learning that the author also made Hatetris (which I've recently shown at LIKELIKE) and Absurdle.

Waffle looks fun! And Absurdle. I used to like Octordle but spent too much time playing games...so some had to go - shame, I miss that one. Thank you!
