I built one of those Wordle clones that made it into the app store. Built it mostly to see how long it would take me to do it with flutter (it didn't take long). The app doesn't collect any data or connect to the interwebs.

Not really sure how I made it through the review process, but once it got through I was subsequently blocked from updating it, with the same policy cited as the OP.

So now it's up there with a double letter bug, the stock flutter icon, and 80k downloads :)

Side note: I did get a takedown notice, which I was expecting, but it wasn't from the NYT. It was from a company purporting to hold trademarks for lingo for both look and feel and game mechanics. I tried to contact them but nobody has responded, and it actually looks like the trademark was abandoned. Plus, you can't trademark a game mechanic afaik.
