#62Ok, I'll be shameless and throw my mine in: https://summit-puzzle.me
I've got a math game to share too! https://www.tristanpendergrass.com/pretty-good-math/
Re: 23words.com
#63I like quick low-stakes browser games like this, something fun and fast to wake up your brain with morning coffee. If interested, here are some others I've come across - Linxicon - build bridges between two words ( https://linxicon.com ) WhenTaken - use clues to guess where and when a photo was taken ( https://whentaken.com ) Angle - guess the exact arc angle ( https://angle.wtf ) Metazooa - deduce the animal species…
> Angle - guess the exact arc angle (https://angle.wtf)
I won't spoil today's Angle answer, but it seems like the game should only offer angles less than 180 degrees.

#64Fun! When you lose, I'd like to see the answer(s) for that letter combo.

#65This needs to capture the backspace key so it doesn't send you back a page. Wordle used to have this problem. In the meantime, opening this in a fresh tab should help.
I didn't have this issue in Firefox on macOS. What browser are you using?
Firefox on Linux Mint. Maybe it only impacts my system, or you were in a tab with no history?

#66@puzzledpenguin Thanks for the game. I played the other version before you migrated it here. Is it possible the dictionary is too small? I noticed a number of repeats across days/playing marathon mode that made it easier.
Re: 23words.com
#67Yet another fun game that will die because it tried to replicate the "one game a day" model for no reason. I like it, and want to play more. Why can't I? At the very least let me go back and retry the words that I missed? Not everything has to be Wordle.
I like the daily game format because it has everyone playing the same puzzle, but I agree with your other criticism. You should be able to try again or possibly disable the timer.
I admit that having an archive would be nice, and some daily games do have that or an unlimited mode.

#68– Different people (browsers) get different randomizations, which can make a difference in difficulty. It would be better for it to be deterministic (including the shuffles), with regard to "Challenge a friend".
– Shuffling should cause a penalty, like reducing the remaining time by one second.
– There is an easy way to cheat the timer by closing the tab and reopening it after finding the solution (on browsers that save the state of closed tabs). This could be avoided by basing the timer on absolute time.
– The keyboard interface is great.
– For some reason, I found today's words much less difficult than yesterday's. :)

#69Earlier quoted context omitted.
I've been compiling a bunch of daily games over the past 4 months at https://dles.aukspot.com with all these games and about 200 more, if you're interested! This one could be a good addition.
Oh! I love a good list! Esp something like geo which is a skill that keeps fading the less I use it.
I do too! This is my first curated list I've shared with others, and I'm really happy I did. If you want a great geography game, GeoGrid is my favorite, but I also love the ones that sort of mimic GeoGuessr with guessing the location based on pictures or satellite images.
Re: 23words.com
#70For the first five or six words, I thought I had 30 seconds to get 23 words, which seemed kind of unnecessarily difficult.
