Is Wordle getting harder? Some think the game is conspiring against them

Many on the internet are convinced Wordle is getting harder and are going wild over various Wordle conspiracy theories.

It’s becoming clear that Wordle is a little bit like a budding romantic relationship.

At first, you’re in lust. It’s new, it’s lovely, you’re enamoured.

After some time passes, however, the shiny patina starts to wear off, revealing some not-so-cute traits. You have to decide whether it’s worth sticking around.

It seems as though a lot of Wordle players are entering this latter stage, with the honeymoon phase coming to an end.

Some fans think the viral word game has gotten harder in recent weeks since The New York Times bought it from developer Josh Wardle in late January.

One Twitter user went so far as to claim the game has gone to “the dusty section of the dictionary” to find its latest words.
