For anyone who doesn't like the daily limit, hello wordl is an alternate version which doesn't have a try limit and you can change the number of letters.
Theres also some funny spinoffs too - swear words, funny words, nsfw word. My favorite is letterle - aka, wordl but with 1 letter.

Neat! I spent the morning playing hello wordl, golfed a little script to help me cheat on particularly difficult words, and fell into a pattern of trying "terns" to hit all the Wheel of Fortune letters except L, then "audio" to hit the rest of the vowels.
Now I'm wondering if I can replace that D with an L somehow. Went looking for an anagram solver and there are a few good options: https://i.imgur.com/BLwAhlG.png
Although, none of those end with S which is unfortunate. I guess the anagram solver I'm using doesn't have plurals. Here's a list of RSTLNAEIOU anagrams that includes a plural in one of the words:
outer nails
route nails
latin euros
liner autos
alien tours
alien routs
I believe Wordle came first, and the imitators were mostly created to get around the 1-word-per-day limit. Here's a really interesting backstory about it in the New York Times:...

I saw a similar version on HN where the author said it doesn't choose a word to start. Rather for each guess, it keeps as many words as it can given the letters you've used so far, starting with the full word list. (I just RTFA)

I’ve been playing with my family for a couple weeks. The social/emoji results aspect is the part that made it take off imo, otherwise it’s just another word game.
I’m not going to pretend I’m the best or anything but I the strategy I've been using to guess in 3 as much as possible is to open with two entirely different words and go from there rather than trying to build off your first guess (unless you got 3+ letters or something). I’ve been using MOIST and BREAD to pretty good success.
Guess a five-letter word in six tries. That simply is what Wordle, the latest craze for puzzle lovers across the world, is about. Josh Wardle, a Brooklyn-based coder, reportedly created this in order to play with his puzzle-loving partner. On that basis alone, Wordle has been wildly successful. A few million play it during the weekends now, according to media reports, a big leap from the 90 who solved it on November
On the site, though, a clean 5*6 matrix (meaning, availability of six attempts to guess a five-letter word) stares at the solver. There are no letters, no prompts. The first guess is a blind guess, or so one thinks initially.
The colours that the Wordle grid produces for the individual letters of the word so guessed are essentially the only clues one gets in this puzzle. A letter in green means it is in the word and is in the correct spot. A letter in grey means it is not in the word. And a letter in yellow means it is in the word but in the wrong spot. You have five more chances to figure this out.
In his earlier job with Reddit, he was behind the ‘Place’ and ‘The Button’ projects. ‘The Button’, introduced on April Fool’s day in 2015, involved the presence of a timer which went down from 60 seconds, and a button which could reset the timer back to 60 seconds.

Love the humour of the name "hello wordl".

Wordle hasn't ever used a plural as its correct word, so your original solver might be better.
Interesting! The hello wordl one I've been playing definitely has plurals in its word list, though. I got "butts" once.
Seems very similar to Five Letter which was posted here last month. I spent quite a few hours playing that. Though I'm not sure which came first.

It was created by former reddit admin /u/powerlanguage of /r/place fame as a gift to his wife. He apparently didn't expect it to go viral like this.
There's also Absurdle--an adversarial Wordle. It tries to keep you playing as long as possible.
