Tech-savvy\u00a0Wordle\u00a0<\/em>fans can now see in the future. I mean, not literally\u2014they\u2019ve just figured out how to predict tomorrow\u2019s word of the day by digging through the Wordle<\/em>\u00a0source code. Unfortunately for us non-cheaters, a bot is spoiling tomorrow\u2019s word of the day on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Update, 1\/24\/22 3:00 pm Eastern:<\/strong> Twitter has banned @wordlinator, the bot that was spoiling Wordle answers. It seems that the bot violated Twitter\u2019s rules against automated spam and harassment.
\nStill, we suggest limiting who can reply<\/a> to your Wordle score tweets to prevent copycat bots from bothering you.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Wordlinator bot<\/a> aims to\u00a0\u201cterminate\u00a0Wordle<\/em> bragging.\u201d It automatically responds to all\u00a0Wordle<\/em> score posts on Twitter with tomorrow\u2019s word of the day, plus snarky comments like \u201cGod, stop bragging.\u201d Evidently, it was developed by someone who\u2019s sick of seeing\u00a0Wordle<\/em> scores on their feed.<\/p>\n

Even if you don\u2019t share your\u00a0Wordle<\/em> score on Twitter, you may want to block the Wordlinator bot to avoid seeing spoilers under your friends\u2019 posts. Simply visit Wordlinator\u2019s Twitter page<\/a>, press the options icon (the three dots), and select \u201cBlock @wordlinator.\u201d (Be careful not to read any spoilers on this account\u2019s page!)<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s some bad news<\/a>; you can expect similar bots to crop up in the future. Instead of playing wack-a-mole with these bots, I suggest limiting who can reply<\/a> to your Wordle score tweets. Doing so is easy and won\u2019t affect any of your other posts on Twitter.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re wondering how to find tomorrow\u2019s word of the day, check out Robert Reichel\u2019s blog<\/a> on reverse engineering\u00a0Wordle<\/em>.\u00a0Reichel explains how to dig through the\u00a0Wordle<\/em> source code, which is a lot easier than you\u2019d expect.\n<\/div>\n
