https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/wordle-284-wednesdays-puzzle-had-two-answers-heres-why/ar-AAVGXJB?ocid=U483DHP&li=BBnb7KzFor many players, they got the word STOVE. However, a handful of others ended up with the final word HARRY.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines harry as "to make a pillaging or destructive raid on" or "to force to move along by harassing."
Several players turned to social media to try and figure out what happened.

I didn't notice that anyone here had "harry." I certainly didn't.

(182,271 posts)I ran across a story on medium.com that included all the answers. I didnt look. It was pulled down in an hour or so. It said that the whole script with all answers going to October 2027 is in there everyday. Sounds like the NYT meddled in something they didnt need to.
