"Wordle: A Game-Changing Era and Reviews"

Wordle, the popular online word game, has added a new answer for the first time since its creation, marking a potential shift in the game's difficulty. The new answer, GUANO, was selected by Wordle's first editor, Tracy Bennett, and is not among the original 2,000 possible answers compiled by creator Josh Wardle. The move suggests a change in approach for the game's future, with less chance of easy puzzles and potentially more controlled difficulty. The addition of new answers is part of the New York Times' stewardship of the game, which has seen the removal of offensive words and changes to the order of answers.
