WARNING: SPOILER ALERT FOR MONDAY’S WORDLE…On Monday, The New York Times admitted that it changed the answer of Monday’s Wordle Puzzle from “fetus” to “shine” alluding to the ongoing news cycle surrounding the contentious debate over abortion. The original answer, “fetus,” was flagged as problematic following last week’s report that the Supreme Court might soon overturn 1973’s Roe v. Wade decision. However, according to The Times, the original “fetus” answer couldn’t be completely removed from its system, which resulted in some players working to uncover the first answer, and others working to uncover the second answer. Some of you may have a different Wordle answer than the official answer. https://t.co/3dY5nRu7yu — The New York Times (@nytimes) May 9, 2022“At New York Times Games, we take our role seriously as a place to entertain and escape, and we want Wordle to remain distinct from the news,” the statement continued.
