This morning, Mrs. J. said "I read that Wordle never uses plural words as puzzle solutions."

Intrigued, I put the question into Google. Most hits said something along the lines of "there haven't been any plural words SO FAR ... " meaning there might or might not be plural words as solutions tomorrow or next week or next month. Not so helpful.

Fortunately, Josh Wardle (creator of Wordle) made the source code and the word lists freely downloadable. So I downloaded the "allowed solutions" list and read it. Sure enough, Mrs. J. is 99.99 percent correct. But if you want the 100 percent correct statement, it is a little longer

None of Josh Wardle's permitted solution words is a plural ending in S. However there do exist permitted solutions which are plural but which don't end in S, for example ALGAE and RADII.

I have resisted the temptation to look at the source code so far…
