Yes agreed. Had everything dialed in except a card that I only knew to be a spade and no helpful information from the ranks. Just had to exhaust my guesses numerically.

Wait, my pokle question was: Liz: Qd Qc, 2nd, 1st, 1st Riz: 4s 9s, 1st, 2nd, 3rd Siz: 10d Ad, 3rd, 3rd, 2nd I got it in 5, and my answer had no spade in it. Did we have different pokles?

I lied

This isn’t a problem: No random kickers on the board - The rank of each board card will alway be a part of at least one player's hand in at least one phase. Rules page 2

I found that confusing, not knowing the term "random kickers." To rephrase slightly for my brain: Every card in the solution will be used in at least one player's hand. It might have been nice if there were an annotated example game.

I didn't know it either but worked it out from context. The couple of examples, the rules and thinking about it was sufficient for me.

I tried to keep playing this, but it seems like todays puzzle is just straight up in correct?

The interface says the player with pocket nines has a straight on the river but is still 2nd place behind the player with 2 pair 8s and 10s

None of my guesses made any sense in the incorrect framework

Is this a troll? I immediately get hit with a "You win!" popup telling me I took 6 guesses without even getting to play.

Sorry!! I made some really fatal changes a few hours ago, that's why it wasn't working. You can try now.

Just to clarify though, there's not meant to be any indicator for "right letter, wrong position"? If there is, it's not working.

The rules drastically limit the needed guessing with the "No random kickers" rule: The rank of each board card will alway be a part of at least one player's hand in at least one phase.

Have played this for a week now. Took me 3-4 days to understand the no-kicker rule. Once you do, the game becomes a lot easier.

I almost wish there were kickers. Maybe modify it to no kickers in the turn or river.
