No doubt about it. I absolutely enjoy playing it once in a while. If you haven't yet played this game, please do so before reading further. + +Once you figure out the word, you are given an option to share your score. This is a good way to pique the interest of the public to get them to play this. + +## My Problem + +**_I don't like when people brag._** + +One way to stop this is to reduce the percieved value of any score that one gets because of playing the game. + +If the solutions are easily accessible, anyone who figures out the current word in lesser guesses and brags now have to prove that they did not cheat. + +Eventually people would just play the game for their own satisfaction and keep their results to themselves. People who got into the game due to a [fear of missing out](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_of_missing_out) would probably stop playing this game and save themselves some precious time. + +## The Solution + +Hence, I have whimsically created [Wordle Solutions](https://wordle.neophyte.me). The solutions were previously accessible in the source code of the game anyway. Solutions are now easily accessible. + +The page lists three words at all times, yesterday's word, today's word and tomorrow's word in that order. The complete list of words are [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cool-mist/WordleWords/main/words.json). As per the list, the last word is _**shave**_ and would happen on 25 October 2027. \ No newline at end of file
