This is to stop players eliminating letters by guessing things\n  like _aeiou_.\n- One shorter list (2309 words) containing all the words that have been, are, or\n  will be a day's answer, or _Wordle_.\n\nThis API makes it simple to get new words from the short list or to validate a\nplayer's input word against both lists.\n\nI am hosting this myself, and while there is a rate limit in place, it is\ngenerous enough that you will not hit it if you are using the API in a\nlegitimate manner. Don't spoil a nice thing.\n\n## API Reference\n\n### Base URL\n\n```\nhttps://wordle-list.malted.dev/\n```\n\n---\n\n### Validate a word\n\n```\nGET /valid\n```\n\n| Parameter | Type     | Description                                 |\n| :-------- | :------- | :------------------------------------------ |\n| `word`    | `string` | **Required**.
