My wife took one look at this and said “It’s not Wordle if it’s all binary—it’s Digitle.”



5 bits would be a weird size for a word.


Knuth's "Art of Programming" had a hypothetical machine with 5-bit words.


I don’t think the parent’s argument would change if he had made an 8-bit Wordle.

Reminds me of the idea of analogue cheese - fake cheese. It's analogue cheese until you get some on your fingers, when it becomes digital cheese.


It's not Wordle because because it's only 5 bits. There are no remotely common 5-bit word systems.
