I got a popup 'Not a 5 digit prime' on my first try and it wouldn't let me try any further. Not sure if I'm dense or if the UX is just terrible

I had tried 18141, by the way, which I modestly think was a pretty good guess in hindsight given its only two factors are 3 and 6047. 19141 would have been a prime, but perhaps not the one I was supposed to find? I don't play Wordle so I'm a little confused




when sum of the digits is divisible by 3, the number itself is divisible by 3

1+8+1+4+1 = 15 15/3 = 5


Sure, but that shouldn't halt the game entirely, should it?


Only primes are valid guesses, just like how in Wordle only English words found in a dictionary are valid.


You have to click delete to reset the last digit.

I think it should clear the whole guess after an invalid guess.


That would be annoying.


Were you able to hit the delete key and remove the typed numbers? (Works on wordle too)
