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.

base64 would be pretty neat! I also wonder what non-emoji unicode characters are commonly supported in paths... If say, CJK character sets were supported by most apps, single-character paths would even work.

I like it, but too often there are words that you never use!

It's really cool! one small request: Can you switch the colors for "guessed, not in word" and "not guessed yet" letters on the keyboard? It's opposite from the original and makes it confusing.

I am working on tweaking the keyboard to be more clear so stay tuned for updates very soon around this!

I am loving this.

One thing, the position of the backspace and enter keys is the opposite of wordle and that's confusing, esp if you play both.

One of today’s words appeared recently. I don’t know how many 5-letter words there are, but I feel like the optimal time between appearances should be a bit longer. (Not to mention this word is an alternative spelling, which may be frustrating to some.)
