And now that the NY Times got their grubby paws on it I'm liking it less and less...it seems more and more they are going out of their way to pick words that will trip you up. Lame. Here's an alternative, and you can play it as often as you want: https://wordlegame.org/?random=1

I have a "scrip" for the NY Times Crossword Puzzle. I also play their "Spelling Bee" game. What frustrates me with the "Bee" game is that they seem to have a moving bar when it comes to which obscure words they allow vs the ones they do not allow. I have complained numerous times but have never gotten an answer that explained how they make their decisions. It is as if they throw darts at the wall to decide what to use and what to disallow. I put up with it because it is still fun and I'm a puzzle addict and the online "scrip" is far cheaper than having the paper delivered. I have avoided Wordle and am not at all surprised to hear of your dislike of the way they handle the game. I do get the feeling they have a bit of an elitist attitude that I find annoying.

I thought they were done with this, but then dropped an archaic one in there yesterday. Who the hell has 'bough' in their lexicon? And it's so close to cough and dough, so it was just maddening trying to guess their obsolete word.
