<< This is an ancillary document to my analysis of the game Wordle . >> << The full analysis is available at math.utexas.edu/~rusin/wordle/ .>> The alphabetical list of 2315 words in Wordle's solution list is available e.g. at math.utexas.edu/~rusin/wordle/official The list of words that are potential solutions to a Dordle puzzle, as of Oct 23 2022, can be reconstructed from a compressed format in the file https://v6p9d9t4.ssl.hwcdn.net/html/6506440/index.html It is very similar to the Wordle list, but it includes 263 new words not on the Wordle list, and it drops 235 Wordle answers, for a net gain of 28 words (so, a total of 2343 words). The two sets of differences are listed below. I don't think there's a consistent pattern to the lists. Among the words that Wordle uses but Dordle does not, I see quite a few Americanisms (e.g. "homer", "labor"), many irregular past-tense forms ("began", "leapt"), and some words that could be considered offensive or impolite ("pubic", "welsh"). But the other list also includes some past-tense forms -- perhaps here considered as adjectives -- such as "faded" and "noted", and it includes many words whose primary use (IMHO) is as plurals, or third-person singulars e.g. "needs" and "jacks". (This includes four words ending in "-es", which are notably absent in Wordle!) Note: I guess the list of Dordle solutions is subject to change, because at one point HAPAX was a Dordle solution. (It's not a Wordle solution and it's not on these lists either.) I have been told that this may have been an April Fool's joke. Here are the two lists.
