Yeah, same here. I would like to compare the most valuable numbers to something like HQ Trivia, which was far more expensive to run (even when they weren't giving away $X00k per day in prize money).
Something very special about it, a few items that jump out at me:
- No permissions nags or signup required
- Massively popular seemingly overnight, despite no multiplayer features
- Sharing your score is both cryptic / interesting to noobs and a big network factor
- The one-puzzle-per-day part seems to put bring everyone together
- zerocrates 5y agoSpelling Bee already is free and shares many qualities with Wordle: one puzzle per day, simple premise... I wonder if you see them try to add more "sharing" features to it. I see people share redacted screenshots of Spelling Bee every once in a while, but it's more work to do that.
- thematrixturtle 5y agoThe free version of Spelling Bee is limited: it cuts off once your score reaches "Solid", less than half way to "Genius".
- whateveracct 5y agoGenius is literally the entire point. Pretty weak free offering.
- zerocrates 5y agoIt does? I haven't tried the free version in a long time but now that you say it, that does ring a bell... Well that certainly doesn't help for virality.
