Controversial WORDLE today.

Agree

Todays Wordle wouldnt be controversial for baseball fans, though I can surely understand why those living outside the US would feel so.

Ithought it was a name.

It is a name. Lots of names are also nouns.

simple - there is no controversy to Wordle - The list of possible correct answers is published.

Mostly fast clicking. One slow spot. 12.

There would be no controversy to Wordle if the published list was widely understood to be only a list of possible correct answers. But that is not so. Many people expect the list to contain only answers which are WORDS that appear in a dictionary - a real dictionary with definitions, not a Scrabble dictionary or similar reference work. Consider the recently discussed BOUNDLY accepted in the 7-letter variety of Wordle. Some online dictionaries include BOUNDLY but glaringly fail to define it, and others do not include it at all. Maybe you can make BOUNDLY look like a word by coining an expression such as homeward-boundly but that seems very awkward to me, and it does not provide any clue as to what BOUNDLY means.
