OT: Wordle stats problems since NYT takeover?

Heard about Wordle from a friend yesterday. It’s awesome!! Got it yesterday in 3 and today in 4

Tough one for me today; took me all six guesses. Was worried I was gonna end my streak. Had the second and third letter from the first guess and kept guessing wrong.
 
3 today

In 18 games (no misses or holes-in-one), I have a perfect bell curve: 2-4-6-4-2

That's impressive. Got yet another 4. Seems I'm on track to be a high floor/low ceiling player, lol.

It’s super addictive. First thing I do EVERY MORNING. Pissin mrs TomTom off
 
I've played several times but I have never registered. Where is the official registration site?
 
I thought everyone was playing to solve the same word each day…but that is not the case. The word i solved for was different from the one a couple of friends had.

Are you sure? It's been the same word for everyone I know for the past month and a half

I’m positive…a friend discovered this the other day…and several of us compared notes today and we each had one of two words.
 
Today it said I had solved 2 puzzles. Every once in a while I clear out my history and cache so I wonder if that will affect anything.

Today I solved
"aroma."

It was a mistake today with the NYT acquisition, it's supposed to be the same word for everyone

So there’s like a smart person version and a dumb person version?

In all seriousness, I’m a little confused about what happened today. Were there two entirely different puzzles, or two different words from those same five letters?

Two diff. words today. I played on the original site today. Then i saw on tiktok that someone played on the original site and then refreshed their browser and it redirected to the NY times site (and all their stats carried over) and they played the word again and was shocked that the WORD WAS NOT EVEN ON THE WORDLE LIST but then eventually got the word.

So I refreshed my browser and the same thing happened. I got the word because it's similar in letters (not all the same though). So I guess NY Times has redefined what words are valid, but my question is why diverge and have two different words and two different sites up? So weird
