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.

I came up with a poker-wordle-ish game idea, and that was higher/lower. You enter a hand, and it told you if your hand was higher or lower.

Maybe a bit basic though, adding a texas holdem flop-river reveal could have made it more interesting

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

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...

I wanted to view user's activities to make sure the puzzles aren't too easy or too hard. But seems using IP to do this is wrong.

I like it, but it relies on too much luck once all logical deduction is exhausted: I feel like it needs another clue source in there. Perhaps giving you a flop card for free would be enough.

Another thing is to accept any answer that would explain the bronze/silver/gold.

Or what would be cool is take WSOP actual games, show the action and the cards, and you guess the flop/turn/river.

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.)

Colour psychology. Red = danger, green = good.

Western color psychology.

Red is considered a very lucky color in China.

I won the first puzzle in 4 guesses, but had a tough time understanding the rules. I think some more clarification/simplification is in order. For example, it took me a minute to understand the colors represented gold/silver/bronze...

Then all you would ever need is one guess.
