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.
