Oh, I totally get why everyone keeps asking if Wordle is harder now after playing on May 14. So, with BONGO as the answer for that day, a lot of people felt it was extra tough. But honestly, from what I’ve seen and read, Wordle isn’t actually getting harder since the New York Times took over.

May 14 was just one of those weird days with a word that’s not super common and had those tricky double vowels. I remember playing with my cousins, and all of us got stuck thinking of words with weird letter combos. We eventually laughed about it because some days just throw you a curveball. Even if you check stats from WordleBot, most people needed four guesses, which isn’t that off the charts from other days.

So, I’d say Wordle isn’t really harder overall – you just get oddball words like BONGO from time to time. If anything, it shakes things up and keeps the game fresh. That’s kind of the fun part: you never really know what’s coming next.
