Shabdle: Wordle in Hindi

One tip: don't use words with a sandhi [1] (like today's word). It makes guessing it many more times harder, since you are actually guessing two (or more) words in addition to the joining letters.

The interface is somewhat non-transparent. I was looking for an 'Enter' and a 'Backspace' key. there's only one. Some clues on how to play might be helpful

I just get black background on the letters in Firefox – I tried all the letters. Does this work in Firefox?

If I understand correctly, if what you enter is not a valid word in the dictionary, then it shows all black.

Like in wordle, all your guesses need to be valid dictionary words.

Speak Hindi all day, but cannot guess a single letter in a 100 tries!

Shows how much this language's usage in writing and reading has declined.
