The presentation of this is nice but if you're hoping this might blow up like Wordle then you'd need a few more gimmicks because what you've built there is basically just a Countdown Conundrum (https://wiki.apterous.org/Conundrum https://wiki.apterous.org/Conundrum) laid out as a square; and there's already lots of these puzzles online (plus literally decades of TV footage from Countdown too, eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n9aILIF_ms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n9aILIF_ms).
- boudin 5y agoAt the same time Wordle is just the game Lingo, no?
- culi 5y agoYeah I don't the fact that it already technically exists plays much of a factor in how likely it is to blow up. Every now and then a new game/app comes out that renames some Japanese puzzle game and blows up. E.g. "hashiwokakero/fences/hashi/chopsticks" or "slitherlink/fences" or anyone of Conceptis' (underrated) apps
- culi 5y agoWow you weren't kidding. I just looked it up and the rules for Lingo are virtually exactly the same! 5 letters, 6 guesses, and everything
