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

Ah well there we go; wow that one is confusing... edit: ...but interesting!

Yeah squardle is convoluted but feels surprisingly satisfying to solve.

Thanks for the feedback! Do you mean in the square itself or the possible guess words? Tried to calibrate the square itself for a good balance between challenge and reasonably common words.

Possible guess words. "unlid" and "mirly" are (possibly over-optimized) good second guesses in wordle.

That is fair! I feel like those should definitely be allowed. I am using a wordlist based on this: http://wordlist.aspell.net/12dicts-readme/ which is public domain and has about 6k 5-letter words, compared to the Wordles 12k. If anybody knows any other good royalty free wordlists I would definitely be interested. :)

Hi everyone I am the creator of Quordle and I am glad that people are enjoying playing it :) I also appreciate all the feedback and I am looking to improve the experience when playing on desktop! You can follow the @quordle Twitter for updates as well!

If you need CSS help or help with the responsive design, let me know! I'd be happy to help. Switched from Wordle after NYT to Quordle and definitely prefer the challenge of Quordle.

This feels like a cheap ripoff of Dordle: https://zaratustra.itch.io/dordle If you're going to put your own spin on Wordle, have at it, many others have, but at least demonstrate some creativity.

Are you sure Dordle came out first? It's only a few weeks old, according to your link.

https://github.com/elasticdog/yawl is fairly standard for word-games.

[edit]

Seems possible that wordle uses it given the 12k number:

    grep '^.....$' word.list|wc -l
    12036

It took me a few tries to get it but I'm pretty into it now.
