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.

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 :)

First, loving this version, it's just the right amount of difficulty. It's slowly overtaking Wordle in my group.

Are the colors in dark mode different to Wordle? I find it harder to remember which gray means unguessed and which means no matches.

The keyboard doesn't display correctly with split colors on Firefox Android, but the numbers at the end do.

Lastly, the share is too large. I tend to just cut off the actual boards and just post the numbers.

Getting rid of the google tracker would be nice. I was disappointed to see the New York Times added one to the original game after they moved it.

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

Yeah I came here to say same thing. I find it hard to concentrate when bottom two boards are cutoff.

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.

BTW, I should say I have gotten it 2 out of the 3 times I've played it so far, so it's probably enough guesses, just today I really wished there was one more.

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.

Heh, I got this as a interview question years ago.

Given a list of words, see if there exists a valid 5x5 square of words.

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!)

I agree. If there's empty space on the screen, you shouldn't need to scroll.

But after a practice round, I didn't need to scroll anyway because I got today's puzzle in 3/4/5/7, so whoohoo!
