Wow, that’s some bad UX. Especially when it can’t as easily be done on mobile.
The intent, I think, is to mimic how Wordle works. Wordle has one puzzle per day, progress and statistics are stored in a cookie on your local machine (and only there). You can clear the cookie or use another browser or privacy mode to play multiple times per day, but you'll always get the same word.

So, since the puzzle will be the same, there isn't a huge amount of reason to let you reset.
The page could have made that clearer. (Wordle says it when you open it the first time, and also under the help menu.) I double-checked this by looking at the sourcecode.
Crowdsourcing decryption on the web is so crazy... it just might work. Now come up with a hash that starts with many zeroes.
Just say so!

Than I already had one digit guessed and simply clicked the unused numbers from the virtual numpad below and got to having all digits with just two being in the wrong place:
35869
Now this was easy to figure out.
Got the following score: 20 3/6
Amusing to see people starting with odd digits so much. You're going to have to use an odd digit in every guess, so you can more efficiently explore the space by going after all the even digits first with 24683.
I had tried 18141, by the way, which I modestly think was a pretty good guess in hindsight given its only two factors are 3 and 6047. 19141 would have been a prime, but perhaps not the one I was supposed to find? I don't play Wordle so I'm a little confused
I got a popup 'Not a 5 digit prime' on my first try and it wouldn't let me try any further. Not sure if I'm dense or if the UX is just terrible I had tried 18141, by the way, which I modestly think was a pretty good guess in hindsight given its only two factors are 3 and 6047. 19141 would have been a prime, but perhaps not the one I was supposed to find?

1+8+1+4+1 = 15 15/3 = 5

It's not a 5 digit prime.
0 is a digit. Apparently I have stumbled over an idiom of the prime-enthusiast community.
But I still love the concept!
