Using the Wordle app.

Just wondering if the app is the same as The New York Wordle played online. The latter is used by my grandson. I have been using the app and lately the five letter daily one has got somewhat weird. Some of the words are really obscure and I get them by sheer luck and some amazement. This morning I got it by trying all and everything and when I pressed the abc definition it came up with” sorry we have no definition for this word”! Has anyone noticed this or can you tell me if the New York one is different.

It this the app? It’s not the same as the NYT one

Thank you *Fanny”. The layout is the same except there isn’t what appears to be a N in the left hand top corner and the the centre and top W isn’t wiggly as it is a solid circle. How did you get your app? I dont think my grandson has an app as he says he does his online. I downloaded mine from the Apple App Store. The 6 letter word which you can continue to is usually quite straight forward.

If you got todays word did it give you a definition?

No, I’ll see if I can do a link

There you are! You should get it one wink

Thank you Fanny. I have done it as you helped out today and it is the same. The interface is plain white and not like the one you posted earlier. Also do you simply download it by typing in NT Times Wordle every day or did you somehow acquire an app?

PS is yours free?

Yes, just type in the address.
There is no app.
I’m pleased to have been of help!

I did (well, tried to do) the other Wordle, and I didn’t get the word at all.
I got some of the letters correct, and even in the right place, but I couldn’t guess the word.
What was it?

I sent you the word in a message in case Others didn’t want to see it. Do you have to pay for just going online or is that for the app? Thank you so much.

If you haven’t got the message I will give you the word on here

It isn’t an app Lovetopaint, it’s online. You can create a bookmark using the link Fanny posted earlier.

Thank you Blossoming.
