    Think they've had to. The answers for the next few years were leaked and I'm guessing the average IQ of their readership is higher than the average IQ of Twitter

    Is the really what happened? I have felt that it has become somewhat harder since NY Times acquisition, but thought it was just a figment of my suspicious imagination.

    NYT hasn't changed any of the upcoming words, other than that they deleted a handful which weren't meeting US requirements (spelling, occurrence and correctness).

    So the answer is: no.

    There are 2 possible reasons why a wordle could be hard: rarely used words and multiple possibilities with a one letter difference.
    A lot depends on your starting word(s) of course...

    Not really leaked, in the javascript of the 'program' and are still there.

    Yes. The only thing the NYT did was to remove a handful of them.

    Part of the fun is idly pondering during the day, “which starter word shall I use tomorrow?”. Simple things, eh?

    Odd one today. I admit No. 4 was a guess, but it was one of two words that popped up.

    Indeed, very odd one today. I could only think of two words it could be by my fifth try, picked the right one or it would have been a six.

    I don't know which letters you had already excluded, but if you had tried [spoiler alert: there is a hint in this link] for third, would have solved probably in four and max five.

    I believe that's what's known as a bloody lucky first guess but it took me several minutes to work out the anagram.

    Got lucky today with the first guess. Think it would have been a tricky one otherwise.

    I could only come up with two in addition to the first guess and went with the slightly more obscure word simply because of the trend in answers since moving to the NYT.

    Surely someone has invented "Dirty Wordle" replete with all the 5 letter words the original and now NYT versions are missing?
