Ahhh. So 2 words instead of 4. You're going to be really disappointed by Octordle and Septurdle, then.
Octordle directly stole Dordle's code, so, yeah, not a fan.
No he didn't. It's on github.

That was actually really fun. I wonder at what point it stops scaling. My feeling is that as long as I get 4 + number of boards guesses I'll always be able to solve it but maybe I'm being overly optimistic.
I run octordle, and I think you're right. I went with boards + 5 which felt like the sweet spot. Presently the win rate is 55% which seems good.
Early on friends complained it was too hard. In my experience after a few games it gets pretty easy.

Mine are SHIRT, WOMEN, BLACK, PUDGY. I like that order as it hits most of the high-frequency letters up front to enable the odd early snipe.
Well if we're sharing mine are: SPINE, WORLD, THUMB, and JACKY.
Mine are ANGST, PERKY, CHILD and JUMBO. It's interesting how many sets of 4 words with disjoint letters are out there. It took me quite a while to come up with my set, somehow I didn't realize there would be so many other sets that work equally well.

Perhaps the keyboard keys should be split horizontally, so each shows 8 colours. Being used to wordle and quordle I was a bit confused because it didn't look like one of the letters was in my word, but it was. 4,12,8,6,5,3,10,13
Re: Quordle: Four Wordles in One
#126Of all the variants I've come across so far, I think this one has the most staying power. I think I might prefer it to the original. I do kind of wish you got one more guess, though, especially if you get stuck, like I did today, having 4 Greens but 5 possibilities for the final letter.
I completely agree (on the staying power). This is the only variant that's gripped me as much as the original.
I built a multiplayer version as a weekend project, would love to know what you think!

#129Hi everyone I am the creator of Quordle and I am glad that people are enjoying playing it :) I also appreciate all the feedback and I am looking to improve the experience when playing on desktop! You can follow the @quordle Twitter for updates as well!
Need to fully visually eliminate letter choices that are no longer available to the remaining quadrant, when the others that are solved.

4 states x 5 letters x 9 guesses is only 180 possible stoplight strings (of green/yellow/gray/black), if I'm doing my math right? So you could just pick 180 emoji and use four of them :)
I thought about this as well, but sadly, last I checked some decently popular apps (Twitter, WhatsApp, some others) don't support emojis in URL paths, only in domain names. So the emoji technique could work for message threads in some apps, but it would look pretty strange in others. (I've been helping @DungZeekFu a bit with Quordle and am curious for any ideas around this though!)
Well, you need 180 characters, so are there 90 good usable characters, or 60, or 45 that will work?
I’m not suggesting doing a full UTF mapping onto base64, but just 1..180 mod 3 => char base64[3] would give you 182 board positions in three URL characters.
