Polyglot Game Night / Day

Sorry I wasn’t able to join everyone today. I can add a couple more languages to the Duolingo Wordle list:

  • Polish: “Słowoku” at https://www.kurnik.pl/slowoku/ - really challenging, mainly because there are 35 letters to choose from (no counting e/ę, l/ł or z/ź/ż, etc as the same letter here), which makes it harder to cut down the number of letters to choose from, and partly because a significant number of Polish words have no vowels, unless you count “y” as a vowel, which I think they do (e.g. the first one I managed to solve, many days ago so this isn’t a spoiler, was WPŁYŃ, which means influence)

  • Chinese: Yes, really! Two options, both based on chengyu (Chinese sayings, usually 4 characters long) - one with a set of characters to pick from at https://cheeaun.github.io/chengyu-wordle/ and one based on pinyin at https://pinyincaichengyu.com
