I just finished playing it on my ipad. Worked flawlessly.
It does actually work flawlessly. Turns out I didn’t understand the rules.

#14Fun!
Apparently doesn't have the word "topsy" in its dictionary though. Perhaps this isn't a US English word. It's not in SOWPODS but is in the app I use for help with cryptic crosswords.
What dictionary does it use?

#153$ a month for a word game. It's a sad thing. We've really lost our way with the subscriptions.
Yeah, buying a newspaper with a crossword on the last page is (well, used to) be way cheaper. But think of ecology! Ditching printing the news on paper in exchange for spending more electricity on charging your phones probably helped it. Maybe. Did it?

Based on the polish of Wordle alone, clearly the OP did.

It's 2048 vs Threes again.
What you did is highly unethical - it's a blatant rip-off, with no credit to the original AND it's a for-profit. Shame on you OP. Flagged.

It uses the scrabble dictionary (SOWPODS, as you mention) -- if it is a playable five-letter word in scrabble, then it is playable here.

If you like this, you might enjoy wordsudoku.win , it's a cross between word puzzle and sudoku. And it's free.

This - and Wordle - are games that existed before the internet. I played this on paper as a child.
