I enjoy playing Wordle over breakfast every day. It’s a wonderful little game, but the US spellings sometimes cause me some pain!
This made me wonder how many US words were in its dictionary. I had a look at the JavaScript source and found it uses a dictionary of 2315 words. That’s a lot to look through manually, so I ran it through a spell checker (MS Word UK English) and found the following 21 words:
| apnea | fecal | moldy |
| arbor | fetal | rumor |
| ardor | fiber | savor |
| armor | furor | tumor |
| boney | honor | valor |
| color | humor | vigor |
| favor | labor | wooly |
It would be easy enough to substitute a different dictionary of course (and I suspect someone probably already has).
