Ever since I became aware of Wordle (and its success) I’ve wanted to make my own daily word game. This is unashamedly inspired by Wordle, but unlike most Wordle derivatives it’s fundamentally a different game with a different game mechanism. It deliberately looks a bit like Wordle, as it is mainly aimed at people who currently play Wordle (I understand there’s a lot of them), but might want a bit more of a challenge. If you try it I hope you like it.

CSS is unusably broken in Firefox mobile.

This is awesome.

I've become bored with Wordle and all the clones, so this is a nice new challenge.

That's pretty cool! I find it a step harder than Wordle, because you cannot guess your way into the puzzle.

I gave up, will try tomorrow again.

Yes - it probably is a bit harder than Wordle. I think this is for people who like Wordle, but find it a bit too easy.

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.
