The New York Times has already changed Wordle solutions

By Tomas Franzese Published February 15, 2022

The New York Times is interfering with the possible guesses and answers for Wordle. The new version of the popular word-based puzzle has deviated from the original, which means that some players might not get the same solutions to Wordle puzzles as everyone else anymore.

On January 31, Wordle was acquired by the Times to bolster the news publication’s casual gaming offerings. While Wordle isn’t gated behind a paywall like many feared just yet, the Times is making gameplay changes despite promising it wouldn’t.

The Times’ version of Wordle doesn’t allow certain problematic words — which BoingBoing details — to be used as guesses or solutions anymore. That’s understandable, but it has also removed some ordinary words like “fibre” and “pupal” just because they are obscure or too similar to other words.

Even worse, The Verge points out that this change means the Times’ Wordle skipped over “agora,” February 14’s original word. This means that players who haven’t refreshed their browser since starting to play the game will now see different solutions from everyone else.

The Times did officially comment on the matter, telling ABC News reporter Michael Slezak that “we are updating the word list over time to remove obscure words to keep the puzzle accessible to more people, as well as insensitive or offensive words.”

While The New York Times does recommend that people just refresh their browsers to access the new list, a puzzle game that’s only supposed to have one answer now having multiple is a big problem. It also compounds issues some players were already having with win streaks carrying over.

This whole debacle shows that even Wordle wasn’t immune to acquisition woes, even if they weren’t the paywall-related problems we originally expected. Avid Wordle players are best off refreshing their browser or redownloading the game for the smoothest experience, but this issue will likely explain any future confusion one might have if someone posts a Wordle with a different answer.

Robots deployed to assist New York City police … again

Knightscope's K5 robot.

New York City on Tuesday unveiled several crime-fighting robots designed to assist human police officers.

Move over, Wordle: The New York Times has a new puzzle game

top tech stories of the week 7 24 2015 new york times starbucks deal

The New York Times has introduced the next title coming to its Games catalog following Wordle's continued success -- and it's all about math. Digits has players adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing numbers. You can play its beta for free online right now.
In Digits, players are presented with a target number that they need to match. Players are given six numbers and have the ability to add, subtract, multiply, or divide them to get as close to the target as they can. Not every number needs to be used, though, so this game should put your math skills to the test as you combine numbers and try to make the right equations to get as close to the target number as possible.

Players will get a five-star rating if they match the target number exactly, a three-star rating if they get within 10 of the target, and a one-star rating if they can get within 25 of the target number. Currently, players are also able to access five different puzzles with increasingly larger numbers as well. I solved today's puzzle and found it to be an enjoyable number-based game that should appeal to inquisitive minds that like puzzle games such as Threes or other The New York Times titles like Wordle and Spelling Bee.
In an article unveiling Digits and detailing The New York Time Games team's process to game development, The Times says the team will use this free beta to fix bugs and assess if it's worth moving into a more active development phase "where the game is coded and the designs are finalized." So play Digits while you can, as The New York Times may move on from the project if it doesn't get the response it is hoping for.
Digits' beta is available to play for free now on The New York Times Games' website

How Zelda: Ocarina of Time speedrunners break the N64 in incredible new ways

ocarina of time speedrunners break game new ways respec featured

ReSpec is normally a column about the wonderful, technical world of PC gaming, but occasionally there are topics that are too good to pass up. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is universally acclaimed as one the best Nintendo 64 games ever made, and while it's not a PC title, the highest-level, most technical speedruns of the game expose how games work on a fundamental level. More importantly, these incredible feats are only possible with a lot of community effort.

Ocarina of Time is a game that would take a normal player around 30 hours to beat; the most skilled speedrunners, who aim to play the game as fast as possible, can beat it in around three hours and 40 minutes without glitches. But the Any% category of the game, which tasks players with completing the game regardless of the methods used, is down to three minutes, 54 seconds, and 566 milliseconds. And yes, those milliseconds matter. The second-place record holder is less than a full second behind the world record.
