WordPress has surprisingly few good options for captcha plugins. There’s the Google one of course, there’s any number that come as part of some complex security suite, there’s the old one that stopped working on the comment form, there’s one that forces visitors to mine crypto… But good options? Not really (unless you like Google, I guess).
So, getting to the point, the solution I settled on is, I admit, more of a “least bad” kind of thing. The old captcha with the funny phrases (nude boobs, etc.) will stick around for the contact form, login etc. And comments get an ugly little three letter code. If you have a long, thoughtful comment to share, I recommend copying it to your clipboard in case something goes wrong, because going back from the error page seems to reset the form. (Believe me, if I knew how to fix that I would.) Logged in users are still exempt though, so that’s one bright spot.
