No more Wordle for me.

Part of the allure was that there would be no repeats and the game would end. Now they've changed the rules. No interest in playing under those terms.

1. I must have missed something

What has changed? I play every day but haven’t noticed a difference. But it might have slipped past me to be honest.

2. They repeated a word, and plan to start including repeats in with new words.

Just not something I like, YMMV

4. I wondered when they'd reach the end of the Wordle dictionary

That might not be the reason but the dictionary was woefully small. Like 2500 words or something.

3. Using repeats started Feb 2

The first repeat was the first Wordle word.

5. I'll keep playing but now it's like Phrazle

The 5 letter puzzle on that site. They not only use repeats, but their stock of words seems limited to more repeats than unused words. When I realized the difference, I kept playing both games. I will use the strategies I use in Phrazle to play Wordle and gracefully accept that my word choices will not always be unused.

It does take the fun and challenge out of the game. I would have preferred that they went to a 6 letter word (22,000 +/-) , or even a 4 letter words (5000 +/-)

6. Try Word Flower

It's a fun word game.
