Mrs. J reports an extremely rare NYT games synchrony today (24 Mar 2024):
Today's Wordle solution word is also one of the solution words in today's NYT game called Strands (!)

Today's Wordle solution word is also one of the solution words in today's NYT game called Strands (!)
golly
Who knows what the word means? I had to look it up and while I've heard of it's partner word many times, never for this one.
Cal, 20 or so years ago I encountered that word in an old classic book. The following day, coincidentally, I encountered the same word at work. My wordle strategy puts obscure words at the back of the list but it was the only choice I could come up with at the time. I was due a little luck
B.S. I thought of this, but for obvious reasons didn't use it.

Something that happens a couple times a year for me.
One of the more recents was oligarch. If it weren't for the evening news...
Condo is another non-word. Like photo.
i wish this was an English, English game and not American English.

At least Bloke does not appear to be a contraction, just a slang. If I were setting the rules, this would not happen.
Cal, here is the original, official, full and complete list of 5-character strings which Josh Wardle published as "the only legal SOLUTION WORDS in the Wordle game, as long as I am in control" ... when he gave out his open source code and data for the Wordle game. As you can see, CONDO and PHOTO are on the list.
If you will kindly put a double asterisk "**" next to the words which you disagree with, and which you never want to see on your Wordle ever again, I'll try to come up with a simple lightweight software that warns you not to play today. Or, if you prefer, software that tells you "don't break your streak of consecutive wins in Wordle today with this Cxickxn Sxit nonword! Just type in "CONDO" on guess #1 and keep your streak alive".
