I’ve not noticed any more prevalence of American spelling. It’s been suggested this mornings was very 'English’ I can’t comment as I don’t know any Americans.
There is however a study in 'confirmation bias' https://twitter.com/mjshally/status/1495458810177245184

PS: I suspect that the list of accepted words is longer than the list of target words.

One new word that arose for me was 'soare'. A good starter.

Re: Wordle
Had an interesting one the other day. Got 4 of the letters in the correct place on my 3rd guess:
S_ITE
The answer turned out to be "SMITE" but I couldn't resist guessing the 2nd letter as a "H" and it recognised it!!!
Normal stategy is to start with "Alien" and then either "Routs" or "Route"

Re: Wordle
There are a handful of 5 letter words that use 4 vowels, eg audio... useful as word #1 - or does it spoil the fun?

I usually play this over breakfast. There's a numeric version too which I prefer. "Nerdle" anyone here playing it.
I usually start with audio (thanks Vorpal for the hint), but may try my luck with some other suggestions.
Ps for nerdle fans I always start with 9x4/12=3. This indicates if the first 4 numbers appear in the solution.

As a throwaway statement, I said to our 12yo grandson, that the aardvark is the only animal with three A's.
He went away for a few minutes deep in thought, then came back with anaconda and alpaca.
Just thought I'd mention this, as you Wordle peeple understand wurds and speeling.
