Wordle Source Code Hack Reveals Every Word

screenrant.com:

A Twitter user unveiled a Wordle source code hack that revealed every word in the game, including hundreds of future daily challenges. Wordle is one of 2022’s viral success stories, having gained a tremendous amount of popularity in a short period of time. Though the online word puzzle game debuted in October, the player base has reached impressive peaks as of late and its success can be largely attributed to social media. From the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles appearing in Wordle’s five-by-six grid, to other widely shared box memes, wordsmiths are having a good time solving the daily puzzles and sharing their results.

Wordle’s virality has made it a prime target for copycat games, with several iPhone and Android apps utilizing similar gameplay elements to mooch off its success. Some of these clones have caused an uproar in the community, with many developers including monetization through ads and in-app purchases. Wordle creator Josh Wardle has already said his free-to-play browser game won’t sell out with ads despite its viral success, though that hasn’t stopped the copycats from trying to make a quick buck. Some copycat games, however, have added a unique spin on the idea, such as Star Wars screenwriter Gary Whitta’s Lewdle, a vulgar Wordle clone that uses crude five-letter words only. Despite clones, Wordle’s player base seems to keep growing, with players around the world attempting to solve the daily challenge each day.
