Word Guess Game — license notes ================================= Word lists ---------- Source: 12dicts, package 6.0.2, compiled by Alan Beale. Pages: https://wordlist.aspell.net/12dicts/ and https://wordlist.aspell.net/12dicts-readme/ Archive: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wordlist/files/12Dicts/6.0/12dicts-6.0.2.zip Alan Beale: "I explicitly release them to the public domain, but request acknowledgment of their use." The 2of12inf list and the 2+2+3 lists depend on AGID and were not placed in the public domain. This site does not use those files. Answers (assets/data/answers-v1.txt): five-letter, fully lowercase entries from American/3esl.txt, sorted A to Z, with a short blocklist of offensive words removed. This order plus the salt "wgg-v1" is the daily puzzle identity. Do not reorder the file without changing that salt. Accepted guesses (assets/data/guesses-v1.txt): five-letter entries drawn from these public-domain 12dicts files: - American/3esl.txt - American/2of12.txt - American/6of12.txt - International/3of6game.txt - International/3of6all.txt - International/2of4brif.txt - International/5d+2a.txt - Special/2of5core.txt - Special/neol2016.txt Slurs and a short set of strong profanity were removed from the shipped guess list. The list is narrower than the English language. Fonts ----- Fraunces, latin subset, weight 700, for the masthead and section headings.
