Twitter has killed a killjoy, a bot that replies to tweets with the solution to the viral word puzzle game Wordle.

Wordle challenges players to guess the five-letter word of the day in six tries or less. After each try, the web-based game highlights the correct letters in green if they are the right position or in yellow if they are not.
