alt Hacker NewsAnother great variant is Unfair Wordle [1]. The opponent does not fix the answer upfront but instead evades the player's guesses as long as possible, providing you with the least information it legally can give (according to the usual rules) while still preserving a valid game completion path. The result is that your guesses end up looking extremely unlucky in retrospect.

Woah. I was surprised to win on the first try: cramp, ghost, blind, bulky, bevel, bezel

I also found it surprisingly easy, starting from my triple "olden, party, music" (calculated years ago for state space coverage and memorability). Followed by "fight", then either "shark, brash" or "brash, shark".
Maybe it's harder if you're a careful player that doesn't waste the first three words.
