This, as well as the NYT game, is heavily inspired by https://www.timdle.com ?

i was HEAVILY inspired by wordle, wanted to create a daily game with similar mechanics. This concept came to my mind, but yeah, after it came to my mind i checked if something like that already exists and bumped into thing you just posted. UX seemed kinda complicated to my, my idea was to make it as simple as possible, drag & drop, so people can play it while commuting daily (tram, metro, bus), and will take like 2 minutes of their time.

Not everyone likes daily games. I hate them. That shouldn't stop you from making a daily game. Ignore the haters.

well said

A fun variation would be to create the cards from social media posts or articles, stripped of dates. It's astonishing how little context the geoguessers need, I expect the same for chronoguessers.

not a bad idea at all, would be fun :D
