So uh, turns out due to the Times reusing a few words my API had fallen out of sync "^^. This release contains a few fixes to both rectify that and make sure it's far less likely to ever happen again.

  • The word list in ROM is fixed to not be missing any words, and my server's database has been fixed
    • The database now keys on days_since_launch since that's a true unique value, unlike word ID
  • Wordle DS now always downloads words from the current day, rather than the end of the list
    • This is actually a huge improvement because the Times have actually changed words a few times after initially publishing them to the API, so this means that if you're near Wi-Fi you can just always hit the update button before you play each day and it will 100% guarantee (barring my server breaking) that you've got the right word; while still keeping a cache so you can play without Wi-Fi

If updating from an old version (unless using Universal-Updater which handles it automatically), make sure to do an update in app immediately or you may be playing from a messed up cache


WordleDS.nds and WordleDS.dsi are identical except that the .dsi build has a title ID so it can be installed using NTM while the .nds build doesn't so it works on flashcards. The .cia build can be used to install to the 3DS HOME Menu. Here's QRs for FBI and dsidl:
