My wife took one look at this and said “It’s not Wordle if it’s all binary—it’s Digitle.”

Reminds me of the idea of analogue cheese - fake cheese. It's analogue cheese until you get some on your fingers, when it becomes digital cheese.

Isn't this just Mastermind?

Apologies for opening a tangeant on a tangeant, but am I the only one who thinks there are 2 levels of playing master mind (and therefore wordle)? Easy level, you let the player know exactly which spots are correctly placed and which ones are there but incorrectly placed. Hard level, you let the player know only that some are correctly placed and some are there but incorrectly placed without identifiying which ones.…

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Wordle implemented in what you call “hard level”. But there’s no reason it couldn’t be.

If anyone's in need of a hexadecimal version... https://jamesl.me/hexle/ I similarly made a binary one before this version, but unsurprisingly, a lot of people said they found it too easy!

The hint actually makes it harder since I was required to guess a 0 and a F each time
