I know that you're not copying the wordle vibe necessarily, but the animations seem too over the top to me. They're pushing into candy crush territory, and to me that a strong detractor. One of the thing I appreciate about wordle is that it isn't trying to be more than it is, and this feels too much like the free games that fill app stores and employs a bunch of dark patterns to hook your attention.

Beyond the "one a day, and you're done" structure, Wordle's presentation is clean, snappy, and completely relevant to the task at hand. I like Three Magic Words's gameplay, but yeah, the presentation left a very sour taste in my mouth. I just want to solve a puzzle and that's it. No need for superfluous animation or scoring.
