Doesn't work on android
Urk - what browser/version please?
On Chrome on Android (whatever is latest on the Play store) in portrait mode, the bottom letters are off the bottom of the screen. If I rotate everything is small but I can see it.

#12Nice game. I liked the feel of moving the tiles. There is a slight problem when I first enter a new puzzle. The movable tiles are below the screen! [0]
(On Android, standard Chrome browser). It fixes itself if I rotate to landscape and then back to portrait.
So far I like the word list you've used. But I've only tried the easier days :p.

#13Fun game and snappy, delightful animation! Thanks for sharing this.

#14Mine loads, but the keyboard never appears to guess letters. I have no idea if there is a bug or if I am doing it wrong.
Mobile chrome on Google pixel 3.

#15I really like the execution on this. One piece of feedback is that the timer gave me anxiety and I closed it. I do puzzles to phase out from stress not to challenge myself in a time bound environment

It worked on my Android device when I rotated the screen to landscape mode, though not with optimal UI anymore. The bottom character row is invisible in portrait mode on my device. Great fun though!
Thanks - I did struggle with getting the game to size properly under different conditions. I sorely lack deep knowledge of the matrix of Android browsers/OS version quirks.

#17Nice design. I like the stars as an extra feeling of success and pressure beyond just getting the word right.

#19Bug: if you click the next letter while the 'victory' animation for the previous letter is still playing, it replaces the previous correct letter with the new one you clicked, instead of putting the second letter in the next empty space
Too much animation overall

#20I liked the game and have never played Wordle, so can't really compare. However, I was stuck on one specific set of words for a long time due to spelling issues. The word I couldn't grok was "armor", whereas my brain would by default only recognise "armour". It'd be a nice small enhancement to state clearly what dictionary was being used for the spellings.
