Can confirm, my version here also got a notice: https://github.com/pwahs/fillominordle

In that notice, they claim:

> We have given the owner a chance to remove all references to Wordle and alter his code to not infringe The Times’s copyright, but he has doubled down on knocking off The Times’s copyrighted content.

This is just false. The owner of the original Reactle repo (now deleted) was never contacted previously.

I don’t understand why lawyers aren’t disbarred when caught flat out lying in contracts, injunctions and the likes. The fact that this behavior is considered “ok” reflects awfully on the entire profession.
Did you file a counter notice? I assume so since it's still up?
