Twitter suspended bot account that spoiled next day's Wordle answer for those who tweeted scores

As of late Monday afternoon, the account was no longer available to view, and its page said it was suspended for violating Twitter's rules.While bots are permitted on Twitter,, certain behaviors are prohibited.

The account's comments appeared to be automatically generated from a set bank of replies, as the account made the same reply to multiple people. The account appeared to know the next day's Wordle through reverse-engineering the game, a tactic first noted by the security software engineer Robert Reichel.on January 9, Reichel described how he found out that Wordle was coded to be entirely client-side, meaning the answers were already contained in a player's web browser.
