    The name of the game is a combination of High and Low. So high would mean right or after the letter and low would mean left or sooner in the alphabet. I’ve added a one time display…

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. I've implemented several suggestions from the thread, that tweak the user experience: allow all 7 words list as valid words, better contrast, make…

    I've tried with 5 letters. After playing some games it was too easy, as it gives you more hints than Wordle on the positioning of the letters. I've also tried 6, but settled on 7 w…

    Thanks! Archive is in progress. As for the length of the words, I initially though a 5-6-7/esy-medium-hard, but It seemed very easy to guess the 5 letters once you play some games.…

    Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to incorporate as much as possible. For now it was mainly played by family. :D
