Genius idea. Got it in 6 Did not much like the last word though — not a very common word !

I wonder if this is the most adversarial you can be. Just having a bigger set of words to choose from isn't worse per se if they're easier to discriminate.

It's not. That is explicitly called out in the blog post.

Just got introduced to wordle. This is much more fun and seems to result in much more challenging gameplay. Its also just a neat curiosity and well executed.

Another 5-word play

A 4-word play would be impressive !

Wow that was a great leap to Rebus. I wouldn’t have guessed in a million years that it was already constrained to 1.

Technically the last move is always a forced move :) The effective part was getting rid of 'E' in the 4th slot, leaving U as the only available vowels.

I was surprised though that there weren't any digraph-based solutions even though I still had S and H in.

I'd like to see the list of words, the optimum is 4 moves, I wonder if it could be forced into a 3 move game.
