How exactly does this work? There's no instructions I can find anywhere

There are two words. You only get to make one guess at a time, and it shows you the results for both words. The goal is to guess both words in seven guesses.

Same as Wordle, except more so. You're guessing two five-letter words at once.

This... doesn't work well. There are too many possible solutions given the clues, making it just luck.

Consider:

   2 + _ + 8 = 1 _

Now _ could be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0

This is very frustrating. It's like Wordle but without any of the nice or enjoyable elements.

What frustrated me was the guessing. By equation 3 I had everything narrowed down except the 1s place in the answer which was same as number in the equation. So, I spent the next 3 guesses trying the remaining digits, and eventually losing with 2 more digits left to try.

The trick is to rule out as many digits as possible using guesses that you know are wrong.

9 + 4 + 7 = 20 for example is a more efficient guess than naively trying to guess each pair.

And there are even better guesses if you just use digits.
