It was perfectly enjoyable but am I the only one who found this much easier than Wordle? Perhaps it’s just todays puzzle.
- rsfern 5y agoIt feels easier to me too, but still fun. It seems like there aren’t as many constraints as in wordle, so you can solve each line independently When I first opened the link I thought we would have to guess the exact words, in reverse order. But that seems like it would be difficult Edit: maybe it’s just how I play wordle? I try to minimize reusing burned letters in wordle since they don’t add information. There’s no penalty in reversle for repeating what would be burned letters so it’s easier to template match. It would be interesting to maybe add that constraint to reversle, but then you might have to go back and change earlier lines if you guess wrong
- kiru_io 5y agoActually that could be a nice "Hard mode".
- rsfern 5y agoI was thinking about it just now, and I think the hard mode could be similar to hard mode on wordle, where you don’t drop any green letters once you get them. That would strike a balance between being a bit challenging but not being impossible without lots of multiline guesses maybe? Anyway thanks for building reversle, one of the cooler wordle variants IMO!
- jsnell 5y agoIt does feel quite easy, but it makes sense since there must be a ton of words matching each of the patterns, and they are independent of each other. I wonder if having to match the hard mode Wordle constraints would make it too hard. (I.e. no placing a letter in a in position where it gives you no new information.)
- scrozier 5y agoI haven't been able to get a first word yet! And I'm pretty good at Wordle.
- manojlds 5y agoIt's definitely easier, especially if you don't care too much about the time.
