If you started the Challenge puzzle today (Wednesday) in the first couple of hours after it came up, you may now notice some funny things going on, such as your words being different from the ones you remember playing. Don't worry, you're not going mad, it's due to a problem in the puzzle database.
The first symptom anyone noticed was the rejection of the word
null, and everything is discussed in another topic,
Nothing, nada, nil!!!.
Things should be back to normal now, but you may have to try and remember the words you previously played. Sorry for any inconvenience.
