I briefly had the thought of creating a game where you get a bunch of those Wordle color square messages from in-game "friends", and maybe some side info - "Tim always guesses adieu as his first word", "Jane always uses one of her kids' names - Olive or Hazel", etc and then you have to guess the word. Haven't had time to experiment with it though so not sure how fun it'd be. I don't retain any rights to the idea if anyone wants to run with it and try it out.

I tried that in a single game with a friend's Octordle result. You have to solve it yourself first, then work out their initial guesses. Here's my solution to today's Octordle: O = incorrect (white) ~ = wrong place (yellow) # = correct (green) Daily Octordle #40 / octordle.com OOOOO ~~~OO OO~OO OOOOO ~O~O~ OOOOO OOOOO O~#OO OO~OO OOOOO #OOOO O##OO OOOOO ##### #OOOO ····· OOOOO ····· OOOOO ····· OOOOO ····· ##### ····· ~~O~O O~~OO OOOO~ OOO~O OOOOO OOOO~ ###O# OO#OO #OOOO OOOOO OO#OO ##### OO#O~ ····· O~OOO ····· O~~~# ····· O~O~O ····· O~O~O ····· OOOOO ····· ##### ····· O#OOO OOOOO OOO~O ~OOO~ OOOO~ O~#OO OO~OO #OOOO OOOOO ##### #O~O# ····· ~O~OO ····· ##### ····· O#~#O ~#O~O OOOOO OOOO~ OOOOO OOOOO OO~O~ ~O~## OOOOO ~OOOO O~~OO OO~~O #~~OO OO~O~ O#~OO O#OOO O#OO~ ##### ##O## ····· ##### ····· (This one was difficult and/or arbitrary, I normally try and complete Octordle in 11 guesses, i.e. the 8 correct answers plus three extra.)

That could be a lot of fun. Someone did a "guess the word based on people's tweets a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30101456 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30101456 Throwing in those extra hints about the players make it feel more like a zebra puzzle, but that's not a bad thing, especially if you want mere humans to solve it. I can't easily process a thousand tweets, so giving more compact data is key.
