I was literally playing with the idea of 'Adversarial Worlde', as I also called it, yesterday! Except it was multiplayer with one player being randomly assigned either the role of the guesser or the role of the defender.

Then I learnt that the inventor of Wordle is named Josh Wardle, which could be a portmanteau of war and wordle.

Mastermind? :-)
I think similar to wordle, but the defender can change the word being guessed at will as long as they don't invalidate any previous response.
Yes, this is it. I came up with the idea while trying to figure out whether any challenge is solvable in four guesses.
What makes the strategy a bit different from Mastermind is that you have so many more letters than colours.
