Quite a fun brain teaser game! BTW, when you say HTML 5- I am assuming the use of Javascript - since HTML5 is merely a document markup spec?

#82This is pretty fun. Thank you OP! Little off-topic, though, I love how Wordle kinda opened our eyes to the possibility of doing this kind of games in the web instead off a one-off native app. I recently made a word puzzle myself[1] which some of my friends enjoy playing and there's no way I would go through the soul-crushing cross-platorm native development ordeal for such a niche little app. But it can live in the w…
I haven't actually tried it, but when I was getting into Flutter/Dart for a small Android project it seemed like (from what I saw online) it would be very simple to build a web version from the same code that generated the APK. Of course for more intricate apps this would likely not hold true.
Had quite a good time with Flutter even if it was just a week of tinkering.

I think 2048 was the first game I remember to be popular and Web based.
You're 100% right. But I would say that Wordle's success is unprecedented for web games. But I think it's part of the viral nature of the color squares tweets tbh.

#84Earlier quoted context omitted.
Or they've made an SPA and are trying to make use of the history API and just have a bug. Don't assume bad intentions.
That's literally what that means. Most of the time it isn't intentional though, at least in the sense of preventing the user from leaving.
Hijacking is deliberate.

#85How do you do such smooth animations with HTML5? Are those CSS animations? I'm really bad at web dev and always wonder how some good webapps were done, good job!

#86On iPhone SE (2nd gen) the bottom is cut off and I can’t see the goal image. Neither the bottom two buttons. Also can’t scroll.
Yes, doesn't work on iPhone SE (1st gen) or any iPhone set at larger text size (which is a similar resolution). Unfortunately many websites are not testing for this screen resolution any longer.

is it possible there is a bug with duplicate letters? or rather the implication of them when there is none?
I ended up in a situation with MMNNA all colored on the same row. AFAIK there is no word for that

#89Great work! Simple and elegant. Makes me thinking of a simplified Rubik's cube.
