"Crisis" is a massively overblown word for this. And the "wordle community" is a drop in the bucket of regular players, and not remotely representative.

I did have a similar reaction personally to the "exciting news" framing but I'm not actually sure it's wrong. The original list of words was an excellent list, and it's been over 4 years.

Given that it is Wordle, “panic” would be a far more appropriate word.

Alarm, dread, scare, shock, start, worry.

Alarm is a good guess. On average I can solve a wordle in 3.6 turns when I start with this guess.

Repeated letters are wasted utility. Wouldn't that make it suboptimal for a first move?
