What is the 6 letter wordle called? I'd like to give it a try.
Go into Google and type in, "word hurdle guess the hidden word." This is done TWICE a day with the 6 letters.

Adam and atom? Really?maybe for native New Yorkers I suppose.

I agree. Even to my American ear, MARY & MERRY don't sound the same. Neither do HAIRY & HARRY.
With Merry I thought we were in Middle-earth, but it's Mary. Tough for non-US speakers
