Nice interface! The instructions could use maybe a few examples on how to make a move -- but I figured it out. The game is tough and challenging, but it's really satisfying when you make progress. Well done!
Spoiler:
At the end, it shows you a graph of how many turns people took to solve it, and if I'm reading it correctly, only 30-ish people solved it at all, despite being on the front page of HN for 2-3 hours? Definitely on the harder end of wordle derivatives! And I bow down to whoever solved it in 9 turns.

Thanks! And yes the instructions are proving to be a common issue in these comments. Will fix those in the next day or so.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I've been fiddling for a few minutes and have successfully moved a bunch of pieces...but also can't figure out for the life of me why some moves aren't allowed.
Really neatly done. It felt difficult but maybe it's a skill that can be learned.

PS: I solved it in 8 today, and my friend - who seems unnaturally good at this - solved it in 7. He always seems to beat me by 1; it’s like if the person who invented golf was best mates with Tiger Woods!
and why can't I spin more than 2 letters?
why sometimes I can't spin? (it blinks in red) and why can't I spin more than 2 letters?

It has to be a recognised English word for it to spin. And to spin a longer word, you tap the first letter then the last letter. I’ll be updating the instructions soon, but hopefully that helps in the meantime!
It took me a while to get it - extra instructions would be helpful.
