Wordle answer changed: NYT

The New York Times moved swiftly to change Monday’s answer to its daily Wordle puzzle out of fear that it would be seen as some sort of commentary on the debate over abortion rights. The Times scrambled when it discovered that Monday’s word, which had been entered into Wordle’s computer program last year, was “fetus.” The timing was particularly fraught given last week’s leaked report of a draft U.S. Supreme Court decision that would strike down the ability of women to receive abortions.
