All of the Wordle words were revealed in a recent source code hack that unveiled the 216 past answers and hundreds of future daily puzzles.

A Twitter user unveiled a Wordle source code hack that revealed every word in the game, including hundreds of future daily challenges. Wordle is one of 2022’s viral success stories, having gained a tremendous amount of popularity in a short period of time. Though the online word puzzle game debuted in October, the player base has reached impressive peaks as of late and its success can be largely attributed to social media. From the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles appearing in Wordle’s five-by-six grid, to other widely shared box memes, wordsmiths are having a good time solving the daily puzzles and sharing their results.

Wordle’s virality has made it a prime target for copycat games, with several iPhone and Android apps utilizing similar gameplay elements to mooch off its success. Some of these clones have caused an uproar in the community, with many developers including monetization through ads and in-app purchases. Wordle creator Josh Wardle has already said his free-to-play browser game won’t sell out with ads despite its viral success, though that hasn’t stopped the copycats from trying to make a quick buck. Some copycat games, however, have added a unique spin on the idea, such as Star Wars screenwriter Gary Whitta’s Lewdle, a vulgar Wordle clone that uses crude five-letter words only. Despite clones, Wordle’s player base seems to keep growing, with players around the world attempting to solve the daily challenge each day.

Twitter user Nishadh Amonkar showed off a Wordle source code hack that revealed every word, including previous answers and future challenges. According to Amonkar, the unjumbled solutions were “hidden in the JS source” and that coding revealed hundreds of now-spoiled answers. The screenshot included in Amonkar’s post is a lengthy list of every Wordle word, from recent winners like “point” and “robot," to future answers. The Wordle hack accessed daily challenges that span most of 2022 and possibly beyond. It’s unclear how many Wordle words it includes, however, since the screenshot cuts off a lot of the source code. The word game’s developer has not spoken out about the hack or confirmed whether the answers will be changed.

For all its fame, Wordle is a rather simplistic game, tasking players with uncovering the secret five-letter word in just six tries, but there is still an unexpected level of strategy involved in guessing the right answer. Some strategies to solving Wordle puzzles include picking a good first word to confirm or eliminate key vowels, as well as choosing a second and third word to uncover consonant locations. Though it can be frustrating not to find the answer, the challenge is what makes it fun. Amonkar’s Wordle hack takes that challenge away, so those looking to solve the puzzles on their own should steer clear of the Twitter post.

As of January 21, Wordle is on its 216th word. Past puzzles, like Truss, Wordle’s 198th word, are accurately represented in Amonkar’s screenshot, which gives it some level of credibility. That said, the hack should be taken with a grain of salt until Josh Wardle himself addresses the breach. However, if the Wordle hack is to be trusted, there are hundreds of future daily challenges already determined and inputted into the game’s code. It’s possible Josh Wardle will respond to the hack by changing the spoiled puzzles, and considering there are 158,390 different five-letter words in the English language, there are plenty of alternatives to choose from.
