The Wordlinator account sent rude messages to people who were posting results.
The bot that replied to people's Wordle posts with rude messages has been banned. The key to the game is easily accessible in the game's code, so it's not necessarily a surprise that the account's spoilers were accurate, which could ruin the game for anyone who sees them.
Wordle is a game where you get six chances to guess a five-letter word and you can learn how to play it here. The answer is the same for everyone and only changes once a day. The sharing mechanic in the game allows you to copy and paste a series of emoji to let people know how hard it is to guess the word of the day. A lot of yellow, gray, and green squares are probably Wordle results or a joke about Wordle.
Wordle fans didn't like the bot.
Knowing what the next word will be can ruin the entire point. It is one of the things that is almost impossible to put out of your head, because when you have seen what the next word is, you probably won't be able to forget it.
The internet has figured out how to predict what the next word will be, and someone else could make another bot to do the same thing as Wordlinator. If you end up seeing a new version of the bot, it is best to block it to keep it from ruining you and your followers.
The Wordle code has been cracked.
Before Wordlinator was banned, The Verge asked if it was in violation of the platform's rules. The company didn't reply immediately, but the bot seemed to break at least one of the standards laid out on the Automation Rules page. Under the word "Don't!" it says "spam or bother users, or otherwise send them messages."
We have a how-to for how to remove Wordle from your feed. It's better to try to make people feel bad for enjoying things.
