lol, I can't say... The good news is that this version is nostr native and was made by our very own Pete. I'm not gonna search the word list, but it's on GitHub. I assume the approved word list is better than that of NYT
If you look in the repo there are two big word lists...

A curated "wla.txt" which is ~ 2500 words that the answers are drawn from an open source curated list

Then there's a second much larger 17,000 or so 5 letter words that are allowed.

We take the days date, run it through a hash function and use that to generate a random word form the list, but its deterministic so everyone gets the same word, no management overhead 😉

did you have a look at the social feature i added a few weeks back? Anything else you are after?
