The Wordle devs didn't actually do anything (probably), the accusation is just an extremely exaggerated way to express discontent at the choice of word.
If I know anything about Wordle players, it's that a lot of them get irrationally angry when they deem a word unknowable. Might go as far as throwing ludicrous accusations at game devs.
It's a weird meaning "study", most often used in English to refer to pieces of music designed to help practise specific techniques. At a stretch, you could say that "studying" is an activity associated with children, and that's the connection.

Big stretch though.

Being owned by the NYT, I'm pretty sure their reaction to children is bombing them.
