There's a question mark icon help menu thing in the upper left.

Oops, fixed this. Thanks for letting me know.

Yes!

Countle is a daily puzzle game, a la Wordle, where you use 6 given numbers to produce of a sequence of calculations to reach a target number. In other words, it's a daily round of …

This is a totally naive way of looking at the situation. You're right there's no smoke in the room, there's only a massive multi-billion dollar corporation buying influence from so…
