The New York Times changed a Wordle clue that was too close to politics.
For some people, fetus was Monday’s answer in the New York Times’ game Wordle, a word game that gives you six chances to guess a five-letter word.

Other people had a different answer.
The Times games staff changed it for as many players as it could at least when they realized fetus was the featured word.
The game-makers say the word was loaded in last year long before the current, very heated debate about abortion after a leaked Supreme Court draft suggested Roe v. Wade would be overturned.
The New York Times says its games are a place to entertain and escape and it wants to keep the popular online game quote “distinct from the news.”
