One tip: don't use words with a sandhi [1] (like today's word). It makes guessing it many more times harder, since you are actually guessing two (or more) words

One tip: don't use words with a sandhi [1] (like today's word). It makes guessing it many more times harder, since you are actually guessing two (or more) words in addition to the joining letters.

- plibither8 5y agoI agree with this suggestion! However, I wonder if it's only because we don't read and write Hindi on a daily basis (as compared to English). Also, I'd just like to say that this take of Hindi Wordle is the best so far - fill in the व्यंजन (consonants) with the स्वर (vowels) supplied as hints.
- captn3m0 5y agoEven then, today’s word is pretty impossible to guess. The Wordle formula is too restrictive for a language like Hindi. Written word-games aren’t a thing in Hindi (like Hangman for eg) but we do have a lot of stuff rhyme based games. Probably other ways to tackle this better.
- plibither8 5y ago> Written word-games aren’t a thing in Hindi but we do have a lot of stuff rhyme based games Interesting observation, and I can't help but wonder if this is loosely correlated to literacy. Since most of these games were developed to pass time by the masses, it only makes sense that they be verbal rather than written.
- mwasiav 5y agoOne of the Bengali versions let go of all the consonant clusters, phala, reph, chandrabindu. You can only build words with letters and karas. https://araf47.itch.io/shobdogoal https://araf47.itch.io/shobdogoal
