There's a bit of confusion here because there's actually 2 word lists. There's a list of ~2,300 words that are ACTUAL words that will some day be the word of the day and there's a list of 12k POSSIBLE words you can enter in

I think OP is correct about them removing ~2k of the possible words

The “possible” words are added to the “answer” words to get the full list of guessable words, which is still around 12k just like it always was.
