New York Times drops ‘fetus’ as an answer to Wordle – but not for all playersThe Times says it tried to switch the word for as many users as possible, apparently in response to the supreme court’s draft Roe v Wade ruling “Harry” and “stove” are “OBSCURE” Seriously? And there’s NOTHING “political” about foetus - it is the CORRECT MEDICAL TERM for a human in the womb after the embryo stage. If the NYT spelled the word foetus correctly they would never have found themselves caught up in this weird kind of censorship. Weird thing ... I did today's Wordle a few minutes after 6am AEST (won't tell you the word for those still not played it today) but my niece must have done it earlier than me because the word for her was FETUS (she got it on the 6th row)
