I would recommend that you have a gauge next to the play board with the colors and what they mean, ranked from close to far, so it's easy to understand. I actually took bright red to be closer to the answer then dim red/black, so I totally wiffed on the answer. Having that info on the play area would help prevent that mistake.
Please don’t use green and red like this, especially with multiple shades of red. It’s a nightmare for colorblind people.
Thanks for the feedback. I thought about colorblindness and figured it wouldn't matter since the important part is the brightness, not the hue. Is that not the case? But anyway that said I'm now kicking myself for not realizing that that doesn't help with differentiating the green for correct... any ideas on how to address this?
Your game just told me "Ponzi" isn't a word. I feel like Wordle wouldn't have done that, and anyway at least it has the courtesy to say "not in word list" which is very different from the outright lie that your game just told me.
Ponzi is a surname, and not included in Wordle.

Try to pick more intuitive colours if possible. My first guess had both dark and bright red, and I wasn't sure which were closer/farther (had to reopen the site in incognito to get and read the instructions again). A more intuitive gradient (perhaps between just two colours, e.g. white and red) would remove the need for instructions.
Cool idea (and great name). I use 'STEAL' as my first word in wordle. Wondering what a good starting word would be in this variant. First thought: something distributed equidistantly across the keyboard, second thought: aim for edges so you can rule out movement in some directions and reduce search complexity.
