Is this a troll? I immediately get hit with a "You win!" popup telling me I took 6 guesses without even getting to play.
Strange, works for me, and I have played it on three different days now... However it's a project of another HN user that they only mentioned in another thread, so it might still be work in progress.
Why is red/green such a common color palette? One in twelve men is colorblind. (Interestingly the rate is 1 in 200 in women.)

Looking at the javascript, the author is obviously very new to web development, so probably a bug on their side.
Edit: yeah, a bug on the backend as I suspected.

It's ..... based on your IP. But not only is it based on your IP, some IPs are buggy and just automatically "win" with 6 guesses. Looking at the javascript, the author is obviously very new to web development, so probably a bug on their side. Edit: yeah, a bug on the backend as I suspected.
I wish this had a colorblind mode. Wordle has one. Why is red/green such a common color palette? One in twelve men is colorblind. (Interestingly the rate is 1 in 200 in women.)
It’s fun to guess cards that make hands better or worse, but it’s a bit tedious to make repetitive random guesses for the inconsequential cards.
BTW, that makes the game less realistic and interesting Poker-wise, IMHO.
Interesting, but I feel if there is a card on the board that doesn't contribute to any player's result, it's too hard to guess in just five tries. You have 2,3,4...A, which is too many options, even if you manage to get the suit correct. I don't really know how to change the rules to compensate for this, but it feels like these 'unrelated' cards ruin the game in a way.
What you're talking about is a "random kicker" and the rules specifically say there aren't any. Every flop card hits someone's hand, in terms of rank, if not suit. This makes it significantly easier. Got it in 3, could have gotten it in 2 except I had a 50/50 on the suit of the last card and I picked the wrong 50.

Or they didn't want to use cookies for fear of GDPR :) ? But I'm not sure you can get off the GDPR hook by collecting IP addresses instead of setting cookies actually...

You can’t. It’s worse, in fact, because users can’t delete them.
