OT: Wordle

[Ali Lloyd]

Hi David - my version uses the UK Scrabble word list (CSW19 , although
there's a CSW21 now I think) which has quite a few more words than the US
one.

I've just checked the list with definitions and it does appear that it is
valid in CSW19 as a past participle / adjective although it seems not to
have full verb privileges (the gerund is not allowed, apparently)

Yes the secret word is selected at random and can therefore be rather
obscure!
