Knotwords might replace Wordle as my favorite daily word puzzle

Wordle and its many, many clones—some of which are quite good games in their own right—have dominated the daily puzzle discourse for the past several months.

So, you're trying to guess what words you can create using only the letters of each grid segment, sort of like figuring out an anagram—and the tricky bit is that most words cross through multiple segments.

Knotwords has a few elements you won't find in Wordle, and in my opinion the most important one is a tiny bunny in the corner of the
