The takedown is also affecting games that definitively aren't Wordle.

That being said I do like the Wordly app cuz you can customize the length of the words, and some other tweaks.

I think they’re referencing Lingo! the gameshow from the 80’s.

I’m referencing an even earlier version that was so old it was on mainframes 😜

Somebody pointed out in another post that wordle is the same thing as a game show from the 80s,

But they said this… I don’t think Bulls and Cows was a game show.

If we’re just looking for the “earliest” game, then I think we’re looking for Jotto… Which was 50’s.
