Apparently I suck because I gave up after five tries.

#53I couldn't figure out how the game is supposed to be played. I clicked some squares and something happened, but what? Your help screen doesn't contain any information about this. Maybe it's obvious once you know it?

#54This game was fun enough that I could see there being some real money to be made here if you play it right, good luck!

Wordle’s growth peaked shortly after it was bought for 1 million by the New York Times at roughly $3 per user.

#56Curious, why did you pick a .game gTLD, which costs a few hundred a year, every year?

Yes, if the goal was to make money, Wardle struck at exactly the right time, right at the peak.

#58Neat game. I was bored so I wrote a little brute-force solver in my toy language. Takes almost a minute to solve today's puzzle though: http://paste.pr0.tips/hgs
Your language feels Haskellish, with some Rust-like syntax and mutation thrown in. Were those languages inspiration?

That stuck out to me as well, given the mention of free tiers on other services. The .game TLD's rates are unfortunately prohibitive for side project games. .games is affordable, though.

Naming things to be unique and memorable is difficult, and finding a good domain is a big part of that when your product is a website. It wasn't my first choice to support the price gouging of .game, but after a lot of deliberation and some very helpful feedback I got about the not-very-good original name of this game (which had a .app domain), I decided to just go for it. Also Namecheap had a good deal on the first year, which took the edge off a bit. After living for it for a month or so, I rather like the name/domain figure.game, so I don't regret the decision.
