Absurdle - Wordle, but every time you guess wrong, the word changes. (absurdle.online)

The new word won't use any of the letter you've already ruled out (so if you guess "doors", for example, the new word won't have d, o, r, or s).

I know this isn't exactly a new game, but I thought I'd share it because it is, as the name implies, absurd.

After trying a few times, I guess you have more agency here than in Wordle since you can choose which way you want your guess to go but I'm not sure I dig it.

My first three guess were XEROX / PUSHY / QUILT every time and that forced words that have A as the only vowels so far. Eventually I might eventually stumble on a word with a Q or U getting generated, but my guess is that will be rather rare.

I can try to force hard words to guess but that just sounds forcing myself to deal with the most frustrating parts of Wordle.
