The color "keyboard" is way too esoteric for this to make any intuitive sense.
In Wordle one uses the alphabet as an input (things we know) to make up words as an output (things we also know). Here one is using colors we don't intuitively know to make up equally unexpected color answers which are waaaay too specific to be fun. 99.7% correct, JFC are you kidding me?
To solve the issue with the input, one could use primary, secondary and maybe tertiary colors + black / white / and no more than 2-3 shades of gray to come up with colors.
And the issue with outputs would also benefit from a reduced solution space. Wordle has 5-letter words instead of 20-letter words for a reason.
The concept is OK, but the execution left a bit to be desired.
- woojoo666 5y agoI liked the game although I am a fan of color games so I'm a big biased. I think it's a great balance of color theory and information theory. I personally like the choice of using quirky colors for the keyboard, as it forces you to pay close attention to the hue and saturation of each "key". Adds a layer of difficulty. Though perhaps the author can add an easy mode with simpler colors, because as you pointed out, the original wordle game is much easier since the player knows the alphabet. I don't think I've lost a game of wordle yet. But I lost my first game of colorfle (though losing on normal helped me get the hang of it and win on hard!)
