- julianwachholz 5y agoYes it's yet another Wordle clone I made as a fun weekend project after I wanted my coworker to guess a word I was thinking of on Friday afternoon! It supports multiple languages and the word is encrypted in the URL so it's not so easy to see it right away! Known Bug: The share button sometimes doesn't work, right clicking or long pressing it to copy the URL manually is a workaround for now.
- julianwachholz 5y agoThe bug has been fixed now! Big mistake making the click handler use event.target without checking if you've hit the svg element instead.
- jmtucu 5y agoGreat idea! Try to connect now to a dictionary to avoid enter words like AEIOU :)
- julianwachholz 5y agoThank you! I thought about this but I think it would blow up the size of the page or make it slow because each guess had to be validated against an API?
- dalmo3 5y agoThat's fun! I made up a word and sent the link to my brother. He got it right on the first guess! Had the biggest laugh in a long time. Perhaps you could add a "surprise" flag when creating a game that just hides the info panel so that the guessers don't know it was you who picked the word.
