WHY IN NEWS
Twitter has taken down a bot account that was attempting to reveal Wordle's daily secret word. The automated Twitter bot 'The Wordlinator' started leaving unpleasant comments on Wordle Twitter tweets, including the next day's Wordle word. Wordle is a popular online game in which participants must predict a five-letter word in six attempts. Every 24 hours, it makes only one round available to all users. By publishing a score card, players may inform others on social media how many attempts it took them to correctly guess a word, without actually giving the real word.

The Wordlinator (@wordlinator) was banned from Twitter for purposely commenting on Wordle-related Twitter postings with spoilers for the next day's game. The account is now unavailable. According to the website, it was suspended for breaking Twitter's guidelines. The account arose shortly after software engineer Robert Reichel announced that he had reverse-engineered Wordle to know the daily answers, according to GameSpot. Robert Reichel said on his blog on January 9 that he had reverse-engineered the game such that he could guess the next day's word before it went online. According to the blog, Wordle selects a word from a static wordlist using a client-side date-based algorithm. He describes the encryption of the game's source code in the blog post.

Wordle, created by Josh Wardle, a Brooklyn-based software developer, challenges players to find a five-letter word in six tries using color-coded suggestions. Wordle can only be accessed through a dedicated website and may be used on any computer or mobile device. Users can share their results with others without revealing the solution.
