American  players have complained that today's answer was 'too British'.

In recent weeks, fans have protested that the popular game - which only offers one puzzle per day to keep players hooked - has become 'too difficult' following its transition from its original website to the site.

wordle answer today has amassed millions of players since it came online last October - after being created by Welsh software engineer Josh Wardle for his girlfriend Palak Shah, who loves word puzzles.

At the start of November, the simple game - which involves guessing a five-letter word in six tries, and which was purchase by New York Times (NYT) the end of January for an undisclosed seven-figure sum - had only 90 players.

But today, scores of players - who have also recently complained that their winning streaks haven't been updated in a week because of a technical blunder - took to Twitter to voice their annoyance over today's 'British slang' answer, which was 'Bloke'. 

One person wrote: 'Good morning to everyone except that bloke who picked today's Wordle word.'

Commenting on the word - which is British slang for man - another Twitter user said: 'THIS HAS TO BE THE MOST BRITISH WORDLE I'VE SEEN.

F****** BLOKE.'  

A third added: 'No one else uses "bloke" but the British', while a fourth said: 'Now why is Wordle giving me a British word I have never heard of.'

The ‘bloke' controversy follows further criticisms facing the game this week - including that answers like 'caulk' and 'agora' were too niche for most players. 

Meanwhile, people also voiced their annoyance over their scores not being updated correctly on the stats screen yesterday. 

Many said the number of days the game showed they had played was actually lower than the number of days they had successfully played in a row.
