In plain words

Evil Wordle is a word-guessing game launched in January 2022. It puts a twist on the classic Wordle format by actively working against the player, changing the secret word to make guessing as difficult as possible while remaining consistent with previous clues. The game is designed for players who enjoy word puzzles and want a more challenging variant that adapts strategically to their attempts.
