There seems to be a mismatch between today’s actual word and the word used in this game now! (If there’s any chance you’d open up the source I’d love to look into it just FYI)
Sorry for the late reply - The NYT started a new format for how they host the words-of-the-day, and I haven't yet gotten around to consuming it and packaging it in-app. I'm also not sure how far in the future the words are set at the moment.
This app is still using the Wordlist from before the format change, ~May 9, 2022.
Appreciate you letting me know, hope you can enjoy the app despite the difference!
