Is it possible it was rejected because it's called Wörd which is too close to Wordle? Try naming it something else and resubmitting.

Like "Wurdle" which did get through?

I'm proposing why Wörd might have been rejected, not suggesting that the App Store review process is perfectly consistent.

The App Store reviewers are people, and some of them follow the rules more strictly than others. Perhaps Wurdle passed review because it got lucky and was paired with a permissive reviewer, or a reviewer who happened to be unaware of Wordle.
