Wordle - Query re different words on same day
Discussion
My family all do Wordle. Now, according to every source I can find Wordle publish a new word at midnight and that word is the same worldwide.
I found today's word very difficult, never even heard of it in fact. However my daughter and her bf who live in the same house had different words (they both got it correctly). The bf had the same word as me but my daughters was different. It's not yesterdays. The time on her phone etc is correct so how come she got a different word?
The only thing I can think of is that as they live in the same house and have the same (external) IP address then maybe Wordle gives different words to those under the same roof so's to speak but I doubt it. Maybe a bug?
Any idea why they had different words today?

My word today is aroma. Haven't had a recent one that any English speaker wouldn't know.

Looks to be because some are still reloading the Powerlanguage site and not migrating to the NYT site (all streaks and data have moved over)
Didn't understand this when it came on national news the other day. It seemed to be once mans recent invention of an entirely new game sold for a mint.
But the game is an old fashioned game called mastermind I played as a child. Rules are the same. I had one for numbers and one for letters back when I was a child.
I really didn't understand how anyone could claim this was a recent invention?

Not quite the same. You have a complete alphabet of options, the answer has to be a word and you can only enter real words. So there's an element of crossword/scrabble skill in thinking of possible words. .
So similar though it must be an infringement to sell it as IP for a mint?julian64 said:

I played for the first time today and got this one on try number six! Ten letters left unused at the end. Not sure if that stat is good/bad/irrelevant though. I think I'd have got it earlier if I'd realised that individual letters can be used more than once, and if I hadn't guessed with the first two letters reversed after I'd already got them right-way-around. Now that I've learned those rules, I'm hoping for better luck on my next attempt!

Recent ones have all been words I know but there's an archive version where you can go back to #1, so far in there I've found REBUS, GOLEM and BIOME - I am an English speaker due to living in England all my life and I've never heard any of those

Thanks. I searched the web and every site insisted they use the same answer daily.
