#3Nice work, especially the minimalistic user interface. It runs fine on my low-powered smartphone, which is good.

#5It’s fun! There is occasionally out of order input on mobile when tapping quickly.

#6Neat! I played a few days :) the only issue I had was that I found it quite easy to tap a previously selected letter, and that’d mess me up especially if it wasn’t the last letter so far in that word. I think it’d probably be better to add a backspace button in addition to the clear one, and not deselect letters by tapping them.

#7This could be incredible. Kind of like Strands on NY Times but in Wordle format.

#9SPOILERS AHEAD
SPOILERS AHEAD
Today's challenge ("Sports Teams") was particularly easy because each one was plural. That made each one "unscramble a 4 letter word" instead of a 5. Might be a consideration for the future.
