Thanks for the feedback! Do you mean in the square itself or the possible guess words? Tried to calibrate the square itself for a good balance between challenge and reasonably common words.

Possible guess words. "unlid" and "mirly" are (possibly over-optimized) good second guesses in wordle.

That is fair! I feel like those should definitely be allowed. I am using a wordlist based on this: http://wordlist.aspell.net/12dicts-readme/ which is public domain and has about 6k 5-letter words, compared to the Wordles 12k. If anybody knows any other good royalty free wordlists I would definitely be interested. :)

https://github.com/elasticdog/yawl is fairly standard for word-games.

[edit]

Seems possible that wordle uses it given the 12k number:

    grep '^.....$' word.list|wc -l
    12036

Thank you so much aidenn0! This looks great, will integrate it in the next update.

Not the GP, but “April” isn’t in the word list.

Many (most?) word games forbid any words that are always capitalized. As either a month or a first name, April is capitalized.
