Scholardle is super hard Wordle for people that swallowed a dictionary - Metro.co.uk - Dictionary
While maybe not as fiendish as Octordle, Scholardle is another tougher Wordle variant that specialises in more obscure words.
So far, when it comes to more challenging versions of Wordle, the likes of Quordle and Octordle arguably have you covered. However, their challenge lies in the fact that you have to multitask and solve multiple Wordle puzzles at once.
What if you want the exact same game as Wordle but significantly tougher? Well, original Wordle offers a hard mode, but it still pulls from the same library of words. Scholardle, on the other hand, narrows its word pool down.
You might think that would make it easier except Scholardle only uses the most commonly used words in academia. So, its answers will be far more obscure, especially if you’re not an academic yourself.
It otherwise functions exactly like Wordle and while answers are unlikely to be words such as ‘table’ or ‘house,’ you can still use them to narrow down what the real answer is.
Unlike some of the other Wordle clones, this one tracks your stats like regular Wordle and there’s an option to share your answer on social media. It even has Wordle’s hard mode, where you must use any revealed hints in subsequent guesses, and a dark mode and high contrast accessibility mode for those with visual impairments.
However, it also only offers one puzzle a day, with no option to replay previous ones. There is a demand for such a feature though, as evidenced by the fan-made Wordle archive – even if The New York Times requested it be shut down.
Considering all the Wordle clones and variants remain available, those are probably safe from suffering a similar fate, especially since they’re free. Although there are a few cheeky Wordle knock-offs on app stores that offer in-game purchases.

SPPU’s dictionary to have 50 fascicles; Chinese to be added - The Indian Express - Dictionary
The Department of Pali and Buddhist Studies at Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) has announced that its latest dictionary will contain 5,000 Pali words and it will be a volume of 50 fascicle. In addition to English, Tibetan and Sanskrit languages, the dictionary will soon have Chinese added, making it the only one-of-its-kind multilingual dictionary.

The Dictionary of Buddhist Terms is the world’s sole book taking Pali as the headword and offering meanings and citations simultaneously in Sanskrit, Tibetan and English languages which has been presented in Roman script. It was released by Professor Nitin Karmalkar, Vice-Chancellor, SPPU and Raja Dixit, president, Marathi Vishwakosh.
Every fascicle contains 100 words and three published fascicle have so far covered 300 words starting with the first alphabet ‘A’.
At least 300 more words will soon get added in the upcoming fascicle from the same alphabet, the scholars involved in the project said.
The project, led by Professor Mahesh Deokar along with Dr Lata Deokar, Snehal Kondhalkar and Maheshwar Singh Negi, started two years ago and these linguists said the dictionary will be a compiled volume of 50 fascicle covering all the alphabets of Pali language.
Head of the Department of Pali and Buddhist Studies, Doekar said, “We will be soon adding the Chinese language in the project and are in search of a suitable scholar to collaborate. Besides, we are considering having this dictionary in Devanagiri and Tibetan scripts.”
The dictionary aims to be handy and will act as guide to Buddhist Studies scholars involved in comparative studies on different Buddhist traditions of which Pali, Buddhist-Sanskrit and Tibetan are the main languages.
On the occasion, Sanskrit scholar Professor Prasad Joshi, Pro-Vice Chancellor of Deccan College said this project is making an important contribution to the field of Lexicography. Joshi has himself been involved in creating a Sanskrit dictionary for several years now.
“World over, there are not many ongoing lexicography projects and dictionary compilation is a long drawn process. We need to train more lexicographers and stop this art from dying out,” said Joshi, who suggested the digital version of the dictionary be made available for wider reach to scholars across the globe.
Having worked extensively in Ladakh and interacted with Buddhist monks for Geological surveys and research, Karmalkar said this dictionary holds potential to bring out the literary works, now hidden in the many monasteries available in Tibetan language in Ladakh, to other scholars too.
'Dictionary and a backbone': J.K. Rowling unleashes on British politician for refusing to define what is a woman - TheBlaze - Dictionary
Author J.K. Rowling punched back at a British politician on Tuesday who — on International Women's Day — refused to define what is a woman.
What is the background?
Transgender advocates believe Rowling is an enemy of their movement because the "Harry Potter" author affirms the biological structure of sex and gender and believes that transgender ideology delegitimizes women.
In fact, Rowling believes that if biological gender is not real — and only a social construct like some LGBT activists claim — then "the lived reality of women globally is erased." Rowling has repeated her beliefs several times in recent years, and, just last November, she vowed never to stop defending biological women's sex-based rights.
What did Rowling say now?
On Tuesday, Rowling criticized Anneliese Dodds, chair of the UK Labour Party and shadow secretary of state for women and equalities, for refusing to define what constitutes a "woman" in a BBC interview.
When asked to define what is a "woman," Dodds said there are "different definitions" and claimed "it does depend what the context is surely."
"Someone please send the Shadow Minister for Equalities a dictionary and a backbone," Rowling responded, adding the hashtag "#HappyInternationalWomensDay."
Rowling then mocked Dodds in direct response to a video the British lawmaker posted for International Women's Day. "This morning you told the British public you literally can't define what a woman is. What's the plan, lift up random objects until you find one that rattles?" Rowling said.
Rowling also said, "Apparently, under a Labour government, today will become We Who Must Not Be Named Day."
Then, in response to someone who challenged Rowling about her legacy, Rowling said she plans to forever defend women's rights.
"Yes, sweetheart. I'm staying right here on this hill, defending the right of women and girls to talk about themselves, their bodies and their lives in any way they damn well please," Rowling said. "You worry about your legacy, I'll worry about mine."
Rowling has been critically outspoken in recent days about Scotland's Gender Recognition Reform Bill, which would further codify progressive transgender ideology in Scottish society. Specifically, Rowling believes the legislation "will harm the most vulnerable women in society."
"Multiple women’s groups have presented well-sourced evidence to [First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon's] government about the likely negative consequences of this legislation for women and girls, especially the most vulnerable. All has been ignored," Rowling said on Monday.
