On a hunch I used DH’s starting word instead of my usual noise - paid off.

@karstopography are you just a night owl or do you wait up for the new puzzle?

@PlainJane hoot! I’m usually in bed and fast asleep at midnight, but was up with my son watching a film (with commercials) and took the commercial break to do the wordle.

When are they going to do OUIJA? MYRRH? POLYP? SYLPH?

Stay vigilant my friends.

I don't know which words are even in the wordle dictionary. Are all of those, have you tried each one? Because the Wordle dictionary is reportedly only 2500 words and according to the Oxford dictionary there were over 200,000 words as of 2018.

[SpookyShoe]

No, I haven't tried any of the above words. I was under the impression that any five letter word was on the table. Sooner or later, it seems to me that Wordle will have to expand their dictionary. Is the dictionary kept under wraps or can anyone gain access to it and view what the possible words are?

[Sue_CT]

Not sure. I have heard/read people say something is not in the Wordle dictionary but it might just be because if you input on the grid it doesn't recognise it. Originally it was developed for the use of a particular person by the person who came up with and they reviewed the dictionary agreed they were all words they would know/recognise. Not sure if the NY Times uses the original dictionary or created their own.

I do Wordle on my laptop 99% of the time. So I just tried those words on my phone since it doesn't recognise that I already did it today. All 4 words were recognised.

Did you all notice the NYT has infiltrated the panel you get when you finish the game?
