Is there a list of the played/unplayed solutions?

Yes, but....

At 1656, does that mean the Worlde ends in 4 1/2 years?

Well, you never know, but Wordle might end in 4 1/2 years if they don't add words. There are indications that this is happening. Game #646's solution, GUANO, was not in the original list. Also, Wordlebot's analysis of my play today said that there were 7 words left after my first guess, but my list only shows 5 words, with one of those having already been a solution.

I'm okay with them adding some new words. I remember when guano appeared. I wonder how many people went to look up what it meant, afterwards

Reminds me of the old saying, "Some people don't know ....".

Foxnews has an online crossword puzzle which had me cheating a little (non-native English speaker etc) which made it clear that my understanding of the language is worse than I expected. Searching for a 4-letter word for "military student" I looked up synonyms for "cadet" and was rewarded with:

"Synonyms of cadet
cadet

noun
Definition of cadet
slang
as in pimp

a man who solicits clients for a woman who is willing to engage in sexual activities for money the hooker claims she turned all her dough in to her cadet last night[...]"

Problem solved?

Surprisingly, the Urban Dictionary doesn't have the nuanced Merriam-Webster meaning. To the Brits: Is this Brit slang?

Here is an alternate reality

Hooray for the internet as a source of information!
Here is what I think the answer is ROTC. If that is correct, I don't think that it is a good fit with the clue "Military student".

I'm British and I've never heard of that meaning before.

Yeah, I also decided to keep looking. Should I ever find myself in the US,man could I get into trouble showing off my masterly understanding of the nuances of English slang. :)

"Hey pimp? Do you have a fag?" :P

It seems I have to do something stupid everytime. I should do this in the morning instead of as my bedtime ritual. It's 00:37 here. I'll try that next time.

Also, my seed words could be better (ASHED this time) but I believe firmly in chaos. :)

I felt FOCUSed this time but not enough.

I forgot to play yesterday, so my streak is back to 1. I tried changing timezones on my phone, but couldn't find the equivalent of AOE (Anywhere On Earth - next to the Dateline)

Lucky second guess out of 3 choices.

I thought that I heard that you just need to change the date on your phone.

Do you people keep track of the words that have been used?

Edit: I seem to remember an earlier post discussing this. (Trying to assess your geek-level here. What I'm "up against" :)
