Currently the Collins dictionary (2019 edition I think) is used for the 5 letter guess list, as in the original game, but TWL06 is used for the other lengths, which is inconsistent for no reason. This causes some words to be missing their plurals, or vice versa (for example, you cannot guess ADMINS). The guess list should be Collins for all lengths for the sake of consistency.

I have been wondering all this time why Wordle and I have a different set of "valid Scrabble words", but now I understand. (When looking around for word lists it wasn't clear if I was getting Collins 2019 or TWL06 or what.) I'll expand the guess dictionary when I next find the time!
