Nevermind, the Mashable article misreported what happened. NYT didn't replace Agora with Aroma, they removed Agora and Aroma was simply the next one in line. My apologies, your rehost is fine.

Original: #241 agora, #242 aroma, #243 caulk, #244 shake

NYT list: #241 aroma, #242 caulk, #243 shake, #244 <not out yet>

Because I got Aroma instead of Agora on your rehost and didn't check the puzzle number, and because I took Mashable's word that Aroma was a replacement for Agora, I mistakenly thought your rehost was using NYT's word list.

Hmm. The #241 word was changed between original and NYT, and I just played your copy and it was using the NYT word instead of Josh's. I don't want to spoil the 2 words here so here's a link to Mashable that covers the two different words to the same puzzle number. https://mashable.com/article/wordle-241-glitch-answer

I checked the other commenter's rehost and it also used NYT's word. So does this mean all supposed "rehosts" don't and can't work if the word list still defaults to NYT's?

> “Why is there almost no field of study which isn't tainted by the politics of left vs. right?”

You lost me there. What did you mean when you included this statement here? Are you saying this particular incident is tainted by politics? I discerned nothing political in Wansink's papers, the feedback they received, Wansink's responses, or Andrew Gelman's reaction pieces. Did I miss something?

I ask this because the rest of your comment became about politics vs ___, which didn’t feel natural to follow when I didn’t understand why politics is relevant here.
