Wordle Bans 'Slave' as New York Times Stops Users Entering Offensive Words (opens in new tab)

The way our society is evolving makes me anxious. Banning is just a red tape. The solution to the problem is not a censorship rather liberation through knowledge. Are they going to ban Black too? We should be teaching why slavery is bad, misery faced by our fellow African people. I read a lot of history books and I should say they do way better task than such bans.

I really hate this change. It makes sense to ban offensive words as the actual answers, but usually no one else sees your guesses (unless you share them specifically, but usually it's just the colors) and if you typed the word in, it's hard to justify being offended by it being accepted as a guess.

So I was wrong to argue in favor of internet censorship. There are some problems it stops humanity from solving: Wordle problems.

I wonder what they achieved with this? Slave is a pretty good word if I know that I have an a and an e in those positions.
