Damn. That makes wordle look impossible to not win at. Do you think you can be sued? Is this fair use?

IANAL. The Wordle game says "Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted" in the source code. Seemed safe, but who knows.

I asked because of what Apple did to Wordle clones. But I now see that may have been primarily done to remove low quality copies spamming the Appstore. More power to you. Your app is fun and painfully enjoyable.

Hello! I am the creator of Don’t Wordle. Really excited to see this took off today. I thought I would share some background about the game, some of the iterations I went through, and some of the future features I would like to add. Background: Like many others, I have been playing Wordle daily. Recently, my Wordle win streak hit 99. I was admittedly very careful with my guesses on Day 100, not wanting to ruin my stre…

Would it be possible to support high contrast colours? I'm red/green colourblind and find it very hard to distinguish the "right in right place" and "right in wrong place" colours. Thanks!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I found the biggest challenge with Margit was that he telegraphs too much . Hell raise his weapon and then just hold it much longer than you think he will, you roll early and then he punishes you.

This is something that I learned much later on (50+ hours in), it's much easier to time with action than pause. By slot in a medium/light slash between enemy long winding/telegraphs, I can time the roll/parry much more consistent, and it's dying faster too.

Now that you mention it, I started doing this as well - without even really realizing it. Poking during the hold and then dodging immediately after is very effective.

Get behind him and you can do a full charge attack with no dodging
