  • The New York Times announced reusing old words in Wordle starting February 2.
  • The announcement was met with criticism for its overly cheerful tone.
  • The Wordle community expressed dissatisfaction, with some considering quitting.
  • Analysis shows there are 5,437 potential five-letter words for Wordle.
  • This number suggests Wordle could run until 2036 without repeats.
  • Questions remain about why NYT decided to start reusing words early.
