The post includes a screenshot of a Ministry for the Environment tweet showing a Wordle screen and a challenge to the other departments.
The tweet was subsequently deleted with a spokesperson for the ministry telling Newshub that it took the post down for failing to meet its standards.
“We have a dedicated social media strategy in place, underpinned by a series of guiding principles, which requires all social media content to be informative, relevant and of a high quality,” the spokesperson said.
“Unfortunately, a recent post made on the Ministry’s Twitter account fell short of meeting these standards. We decided to take the post down and are now taking steps to ensure quality control processes are adhered to for all social media content going forward.”
Wordle is a simple guessing game with a new puzzle launched each day. Players have up to six guesses to identify the five-letter word, with colour-coded clues given when letters are guessed correctly.
The game took off after a user in New Zealand used emojis to share their success on Twitter, which prompted creator Josh Wardle to build that option into the game.
While it only had 90 worldwide players in November, there are now over two million regular Wordle players, with many posting their results and challenging their friends to beat them.
