Sordle Help

The Sordle is like the Wordle, except instead of using a fixed set of words, multiple sets of words can be used.

The Sordle currently has four "official" sets:

Fairly Hard Set
A fairly hard set of words.
Five-Letter Entities
This list includes five-letter countries, as well as over 100 administrative divisions such as states and provinces across six continents.
Five-Letter English Words
Every valid word in the Sordle's dictionary has a chance to appear in this list. This includes many well-known words, but also includes plural nouns, conjugated verbs, and obscure words like "ejido" (a Mexican communal farm) and "cloam" (made of clay).
Linguistics
This set includes words and terms related to linguistics, ranging from the very basic to the fairly obscure.

If you want to, you can also use a custom set, although this is optional.

Using a custom set

On the Sordle page, there are two textboxes right above the main grid: one for the set's URL and one for the word separator.
The given URL must point to a page containing only a list of five-letter words separated by the word separator.

Creating a custom set

For example, if the separator is set to ;, then this would be a valid page for use as a set:

APPLE;BERRY;GRAPE;LEMON;MANGO;OLIVE;PEACH

whereas these ones would all be invalid:

Word list: APPLE;BERRY;GRAPE;LEMON;MANGO;OLIVE;PEACH

<html><body>APPLE;BERRY;GRAPE;LEMON;MANGO;OLIVE;PEACH</body></html>

APPLE BERRY GRAPE LEMON MANGO OLIVE PEACH

APPLE;BERRY;CHERRY

The first two lists contain extra content, the third does not use the given separator (it uses a space instead of a semicolon), and the fourth uses a six-letter word. None of them would work properly.
