Oh, I'd love to see that lawsuit. You definitely have a case for prior art between Jotto and the board game Mastermind.

Oh I don't see anyone having enough legal grounds, but I could see the NYT telling the developers to add more words just in case a Lionel Hutz-type lawyer gets hungry enough.

Has it? I played today, and BLOKE was the only word available.

That wasn't the 5-letter word I had today...

Apparently some people get a different word. Vanna White accidentally spoiled the solution on Twitter a couple days ago, and it wasn't the word I had.

What word you get depends on if you are still playing on the original cached URL or on the Times. There is still some overlap.

When I use the powerlanguage url, it redirects to the Times. Is there some cookie in play there or something?

I honestly don't know. I just remember reading there was some farkery at work and there was two versions of the game running for a period of time. I don't even know if it's still an issue.
