Word List and Fair Play

Word games feel best when the rules are boringly clear. A guess should either count or not count. A puzzle should feel tricky because of the word, not because the game is hiding weird rules.

This page explains how InfiniWordle thinks about word lists, valid guesses, and fair play. Some exact dictionary details may depend on the current build, so the practical promise is simple: the game should be understandable, consistent, and fun to solve.

Valid Guesses

InfiniWordle is built around five-letter guesses. When you enter a word, the game checks whether that guess is accepted before it gives color clues.

Accepted guesses should feel like real playable words. If a guess is rejected, the game should make that clear so you can try another word without losing the thread of the round.

The most important thing is consistency. If a word is accepted in one round, players expect it to behave the same way in another round unless the rules have clearly changed.

Answers Should Feel Fair

A fair answer does not have to be easy. It just has to feel like it belongs in the game.

Tricky words are fine. Repeated letters are fine. Less common patterns are fine. But a puzzle stops feeling fair when the answer is so obscure that the board becomes a dictionary test instead of a clue-reading challenge.

For a casual unlimited word game, the best answers usually sit in the middle: familiar enough to recognize, interesting enough to make you think.

Guesses and Answers May Not Be the Same List

Many word puzzle games use one list for accepted guesses and a smaller list for possible answers. That can be a good setup.

The accepted-guess list can allow more words so players have room to test letters. The answer list can stay cleaner so final solutions feel fair.

If InfiniWordle uses that kind of setup, this page should be updated with a plain explanation. Players do not need the full dictionary file. They just need to understand why a word might be accepted as a guess without being likely as an answer.

Randomness Should Not Feel Random in a Bad Way

InfiniWordle has unlimited rounds, so answer selection matters. The game should avoid patterns that make sessions feel repetitive or suspicious.

For example, if the same answer appears too often, players notice. If every answer leans obscure, players notice that too.

The ideal experience is simple: each new round feels fresh, and over time the word mix feels reasonable.

Offensive or Uncomfortable Words

Word lists need judgment. Some words may be technically valid but not a good fit for a relaxed puzzle game.

A fair-play approach should consider filtering words that are offensive, needlessly explicit, or likely to make the game feel worse for ordinary players.

That does not mean the list has to be bland. It just means the game should not surprise players with an answer that feels out of place for the tone of InfiniWordle.

What Players Can Expect

Players should be able to expect:

• Clear feedback after each submitted guess.
• Consistent accepted-word behavior.
• Answers that are solvable through clues.
• No need to know private implementation details.
• A way to report words that feel wrong for the game.

That last point matters. Word lists improve over time when players can flag edge cases.

Reporting a Word Issue

If a word seems incorrectly accepted, rejected, or chosen as an answer, send it through the Contact page.

Useful details include the word, what happened, and whether it was rejected as a guess or appeared as an answer.

Do not send a giant list of words unless the issue is broad. One clear example is usually easier to fix.

Quick Questions

Are all accepted guesses possible answers?

Not necessarily. Some word games accept more guesses than they use as answers. The exact InfiniWordle setup should be confirmed in the current game code.

Can answers repeat?

Unlimited games may eventually repeat words. The important part is that repetition should not feel too frequent in normal play.

Can I suggest a word-list change?

Yes. Use the Contact page and include the word plus what felt wrong.

The Fair-Play Standard

The best word list is not the biggest one. It is the one that makes players say, "Okay, fair," even when they lose.
