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!
