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.

I think this (squareword) would be even more fun with a toggle button to transpose the square.

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.

Yes? Per the "History of Quordle": https://www.quordle.com/#?overlay=tutorial

> It all started on January 29, 2022 when I saw an article mentioning Dordle by Guilherme S. Töws and we all started playing it as a group. It was a blast to play something more difficult than Wordle

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.

Use adblock?

I do, which is how I immediately noticed it was there when I went to the site. I'm just not a big fan of the "I've got mine so screw everyone else" mentality and I'm happy to suggest making simple changes that will improve things for others.

Maybe this takes the fun out of it, but with Quordle, I've had great success with: TUBES FLING CHAMP WORDY With those, I've always completed all four...

I have less fun with that sort of strategy (I like hard mode in Wordle). But in this variant I find it exceedingly difficult if I don't employ this sort of strategy.

Ahhh. So 2 words instead of 4. You're going to be really disappointed by Octordle and Septurdle, then.

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!

I'm getting some weird words in practice such as "FETID" and "SHALT". Is it reasonable to increase the cutoff of word usage for the dictionary?

Those are great words

Been playing this one for a while, and I love it. I know it won't always line up this way, but the other day I was able to fill in 4 remaining words with 3 guesses and finished with a score of 8, felt great.
