As many of you I took a jab at a wordle solver. That wasn't so hard. Then I said, how can I guarantee as a human, I win, in 6 moves almost 100% of the time? "Quick Brown Fox", as in, use as many possible letters in the alphabet, comprised of 5 letter words, given that we have only 5 words to play with. That gives us 25 characters to use. I came up with BLOCK VENTS JUMPY DWARF GHAZI this leaves out Q and X, which is f…

Doesn't work effectively for Quordle.

You have 9 guesses. This takes up 5 of them, then you need to be correct for each of the 4 words.

Fun! I made one with a 5x5 square of letters, containing five words down and five across: https://squareword.org/ A bit like a combination of crosswords and Wordle, as vertical words can be used for additional clues.

Really nice but... surely 'Squardle'? :-)

There was already a Squardle: https://fubargames.se/squardle/

This is really neat. That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for building it.

I was so close, solved three and was down to two choices for the fourth (I knew four letters but there were two words and I guessed the wrong one).

I used grep to help with the searching.

Of 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 also which it shared it simply as Daily Quordle #22 7⃣ 6⃣ 9⃣ 4⃣ vs. Daily Quordle #23 7⃣ 6⃣ 9⃣ 4⃣ quordle.com ⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜ ⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ Maybe you could add a link if you want to expand to the second one. But it's just too long for sharing.

That's an interesting idea! It could be cool to have a share link that could rebuild the emoji grid.

I could see something like this beating out the original. Wordle has to be 1x/day because there are only a couple thousand common 5-letter words (around 2300, if I recall correctly). It would turn repetitive. This game has O(N^4) combinations, so it can be played over and over.

One suggestion: could you put the four games side-by-side when the horizontal space allows it?

With a 1792px width (Macbook Pro 16) I have to scroll vertically to see all the games while there is plenty of unused horizontal space
