Neat! Bug report: on my iPhone when I quickly double-tap the backspace button it zooms on that element, which is pretty distracting.
Fixed!
Hmm maybe not, this is still happening for me.

#62I obviously could be wrong about this, but I wonder if one puzzle per day is too few to get people hooked on the game? I know it worked for Wordle, but that a) had novelty on its side, and b) was lucky. Right now I'd happily play a bunch more times -- and perhaps find it fun enough to make a point of coming back -- but having played just once, I think it's 50/50 whether I'll remember it tomorrow, and if I don't then…
Hey, not sure if you've forgotten about QWERTLE already, but I just released a new version with unlimited Practice mode!

Dividing the green component in half doesn’t make a color half as green. Adding 50 to all of components makes the color brighter by uneven amounts dependin…
Hey, I just released a new update that adds multiple color schemes to help with colorblindness! At some point I may add a color blind mode that does away with the need for colors altogether, but for now this should make things a bit better. Also, there is now a gauge next to the board so you can more easily see the range of colors (unfortunately, it doesn't yet work on Firefox). Check it out! I also skipped forward a…
Hi Sam, I noticed that your statistics popup has a glitch. I was going to send a screen shot, but could not find an email. Mine is in profile if you are shy of adding it to your HN profile. I have enjoyed playing your version. It makes the mind use a different heuristic than Wordle. Sort of fun to compare each day.

#65Thanks for building this! It's a neat variation of Wordle. I enjoyed figuring out what an ideal guess would be, and just wrote about it: https://relentlessoptimizer.com/gaming/2024/02/06/on-optimiz...
