I have just been using the same link that I have always used and haven't yet experienced any visual or other indication that the NYT is involved. Mrs. Doom has seen it switch over somehow, but she hasn't been using the exact same link this whole time. 

So while I got today's word (sort of?) in five, I was complaining about how I couldn't think of any other words that ended with the last three letters beyond the one I guessed, which she thought was strange. 

It appears that she and I had a different word. I'll spoiler the rest. 

Spoiler

I gave up and googled "five letter words that end in 'ora'" because flora didn't work, and I knew that it couldn't be quora.

Pretty dodgy.

So just an FYI that something fishy is going on.

Looks like a pretty widespread problem. 

The NYT also removed a few vulgarities from the accepted word list.

This was likely done intentionally in order to get people like me to stop using the original URL.

Been doing this for a few weeks.  Took all 6 guesses yesterday.  Had to think about the last word for a few minutes before it came to me.  This may be a dumb question, but how do you post the screenshots with just the colored blocks?

Click the share button.  Scroll down to “copy” and press the copy button. The go to this thread and press paste. (If that is what you  meant with your question).

Thanks.

It took me a while to figure out the first and last letter.  I set it down and came back to it a couple hours later and got the word almost immediately.

Well, the Surly crowd Just lost a couple of easy answers:

“Sure, the game plays the same, but the Times has not only removed rude words like “pussy” and “whore” from possible guesses, it’s also changed the game’s future solutions. And surely for a game all about guessing words this counts as a change to gameplay.”

it makes me turn dark mode back on every day. is that just me?

FWIW- my link from 2 weeks ago still works.

I have left the tab open in my phone since I started playing and always refresh my browser to get the new word but somehow it directed me to the nytimes site a week ago or so.  I just assumed that the original site had been taken down.  Lame.

Googled and used the NYT link which allowed me to play the same game as everyone else (or so I would assume) but it did not import my cumulative stats. I anticipated this and took a screenshot yesterday.

I am still using the original page. I have no plans of moving to the NYT link.

The original link will work as long as you don’t hit refresh. If you do, it’ll redirect you.

Cool - refreshing the original link "imported" my statistics.
