Very nice! The wife and I compete with the daily Wordle and Quordle so this will be a nice addition. Thanks for making this! Is there a dark mode by any chance?

Thanks for the kind comment. The dark mode is on the dev plan, I just didn’t have it ready for launch.

Looking forward to seeing this progress, we think you're onto something!

We've noticed that sharing results (like in Wordle or Quordle) is a bit weird. On mobile you need to refresh the page for it to show the share button after completion, but the payload only presents the last line (with how many right/wrong). However on the web, it doesn't show at all, just a "You've Won!" modal.

We're a bit competitive ;)

Thanks for making it <3

So, it worked yesterday. Today I'm getting these errors:

Loading failed for the with source “https://wordall.xyz/_next/static/chunks/main-101cfeaa18eb0e6.... wordall.xyz:1:1

Loading failed for the with source “https://wordall.xyz/_next/static/chunks/889-e1aed44fdbbf5ec4.... wordall.xyz:1:1

I tried with a fresh browser in case it was a caching issue on my side.

Thanks - it is behind cloudflare, and there does seem to be the odd caching issue where there is a mismatch between the files. I'll look further into it.

I’ve made it so it only shows the share button if the browser supports native sharing (navigator.share) - wordle just copies it to the clipboard on other browsers, which I found a little naff so that I didn’t really bother to do that.

Only showing the right/wrong is how it’s supposed to work. I thought about it sharing the grid like wordle, but I thought that was too much of a copy, and unlike wordle I think the wordall grid doesn’t contain as much meaning (it contains some, but I am not sure what it conveys is that interesting)

Really appreciate your interest - I’m glad you like it!

Nice Looks like a multi-word version of Word-in-one, which I’ve added to my daily wordle routine :) https://bushong.net/~mconst/wordinone/

You’re right. I wasn’t aware of word-in-one and it’s a similar idea. The closest I’ve seen to my game in fact. ( when I had the idea for it I wondered if anyone else had had the same idea. I’ve not seen another game doing exactly the same yet)
