I’m done with Dordle. First it was woods, then links, and now works. If it always takes a plural verb, it’s plural and should not be allowed, regardless of its possible use as a collective noun.
The "S" enders that have a plural option should likely be omitted to keep the game more fair. I'm loving Dordle, but my pet peeve is the ED enders which I have seen many in freedordle. I lost a game to PIPED and almost another to DOMED. Those shouldn't be in the game IMO.
