In a statement on its website, the Times warned that some users playing the game on Monday “may see an outdated response that seems closely related to a major recent news event.”
Although the statement did not specify which word it referred to, the publisher confirmed to CNN that it was a “fetus”.
The Times said the word was loaded into the game last year – before the publisher acquired it – adding: “When we found out last week that this particular word would be introduced today, we changed it to as many crucial tasks as possible.”
However, some users who have not updated their browser window can still understand the word from the “outdated puzzle”, the statement added.
The move follows a draft majority opinion written last week by Judge Samuel Alito, which will overturn the remarkable ruling by US Supreme Court Rowe v. Wade. Under the bill, the court will overturn Rowe vs. Wade’s federal constitution right to abortion. The opinion would be the most consistent solution to abortion in decades and will transform the landscape of women’s reproductive health in America.
“At the New York Times Games, we take our role of entertainment and escape seriously and want Wordle to stay separate from the news,” the Times said in a statement.
“But with Wordle’s current technology, it can be difficult to change words that have already been loaded into the game,” he added.
The controversial draft Supreme Court opinion was circulated in early February, according to Politico, which received it. The final opinion has not been published and the votes and language may be changed before the opinions are officially published. The opinion on this case is expected to be published only at the end of June.
The court confirmed the authenticity of the document on Tuesday and also stressed that this is not a final decision.
The New York Times has acquired Wordle, which gives players six chances to guess a five-letter word every day this year.
Josh Wardle, a Brooklyn-based software engineer and former Reddit, released the game in October 2021, and it quickly became a cultural phenomenon, with millions playing the game every day, according to the Times.
CNN’s Tierney Sneed, Arian de Vogue, Joan Biskupic and Jennifer Korn contributed to the report.
