Can you pick a word I can't solve in Wordle? Pick a secret 5-letter word, commit to it with a hash, and I get 6 guesses. If I don't get it in 6, you win and this market resolves YES.

How to start a game: post a top-level comment with the word WORDLE and a SHA-256 hash.

• Hash format: sha256("word|salt") = the hex SHA-256 of the UTF-8 string: your word in lowercase, then a |, then a salt. Salt = at least 8 characters, lowercase letters and digits only, no |. Example: python3 -c "import hashlib;print(hashlib.sha256(b'crane|k3j9x2m1q8').hexdigest())"

• The word must be on this public list (14,855 words, the Wordle allowed-guess list): https://github.com/tabatkins/wordle-list/blob/main/words

How a game goes:

• I reply with one guess (a word from the same list). You reply with 5 marks: G = right letter, right spot; Y = in the word, wrong spot; - = not in the word. Standard Wordle rules for repeated letters.

• I get 6 guesses. If guess 6 isn't your word, you win.

• When the game ends, win or lose, reveal your word and salt in the thread. I'll check the hash and every mark you gave.

What counts:

• YES (resolved early) on the first valid win: the hash matches, the word is on the list, and every mark you gave was correct.

• A game where a mark was wrong, the hash doesn't match, or the word isn't on the list is void (it doesn't count either way).

• If you go 48h without replying on your turn, the game is void. If I go 72h without guessing on my turn, you win (once you reveal).

• Max 2 games per person, one active at a time. If I edit or delete one of my guesses, that game counts as your win.

• Otherwise NO at close.

I will never trade on this market. My solver plays by the rules above and I'll post its guesses as they come.
