Got it in three today: very happy with that.
Does the Swedish version (I assume there is one) treat the inflected vowels (a/å/ä and o/ö ) as different ?
Å. Ä and Ö are vowels in their own right, so different from other diacritic marks. "É" is for example not its own letter, it's just a regular "E" with an actute accent. The same goes umlauts on "U": not its own letter. Accents, tremas and circumflexes on vowels are really only used in loanwords. As many languages, Swedish (unlike English) also considers "Y" to be a vowel.
I don't know if there's a Swedish version of Wordle yet. It wouldn't surprise me. As I wrote some pages back, we had a gameshow in the 90s with the exact same rules.
The letter "W" is special in Swedish: it's used (sparingly), but in dictionaries it's considered the same letter as "V" and we don't say it if reciting the alphabet. It has its own pronounciation in the radio telephony alphabet that we use when using Swedish phraseology.
There's more to say, but I doubt anyone except @kanga would be interested.
Autocorrect is so frustrating. It's always making me say things I didn't Nintendo.
