Did you think I was sending you a clue for today's word? No, but I saw your emphasis and decided to run with it. Is that a problem as well?

Well, I have helped you dilute your 'jagging'...

And not a DRINK in it for me.

If NYT wants to make wordle competitive, it needs to upgrade the game such that it throws a random 5-letter word every time it's played which would be quasi-unique to every player.

That way there would be no point publishing the word of the day, or playing under multiple usernames or using browser private/incognito settings to subvert the outcome of each day's game.

Also, the published list would be useless as it could not show the word of the day in chronological order.

There is a much simpler solution.

Don't cheat.

Surely you can manage that, yes?

I am not doing this as a contest. I do it as a challenge for myself.

There are many wordle competitions running out there so it would be in NYT's interest to prevent even the possibility cheating or many will lose interest.

Imagine a world where your 'jagging' would not be a sign of your cheating but truly a sign that you are a geriatric prodigy.
