Yeah I figured it was a necessity for a puzzle like this.

Odd. According to this venn diagram, that would only give you 3 additional characters of Greek from what you would already know coming form English. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Venn_diagram_showing...

Somehow I feel like this article was very unclear? The way it's written, the way it tells its story, I'm really not sure what happened. I wish there was just a link to the saas in question. Like maybe it's that I just woke up

A question I asked myself when I first created it. Some people will be annoyed by that, some won't. It's fine if you're the former! but the fact is, without an input field, there's no way to verify that your solution is

Yeah, have to press enter. Would you mind editing your comment to remove the spoiler?

See my other comment on this subject! I think it would be a risky choice.

If I omitted any puzzle with alternate obscure solutions, the vast majority of puzzles would be invalid. There are a lot of obscure words. If on the other hand I set it to accept the alternate obscure solutions, that actually could ruin t

I appreciate the well-thought-out comment. I'm reluctant to imitate Wordle's style of successive partial confirmation, which I feel is a tired pattern now. It feels like there's a trillion [*]dles, all of whom operate on that

Very observant! I know that that is possible and left it in, at least for now. Sorry about that though. For now, if you open the browser dev tools (F12 on Windows or opt-command-J on mac, in chrome anyway), go to the network tab, and refres

Sorry about that. If you open the browser dev tools (F12 on Windows or opt-command-J on mac, in chrome anyway), go to the network tab, and refresh and look at the network request to the /puzzle endpoint on load, you'll see the sol

In this case "prill" is the obscure word, sorry. I understand some people will be annoyed that the obscure words they happen to know don't work, but I think it's better for the 95% of players who would be disappointed to

Confirmed the bug on my phone. Firefox Android only it looks like. Thank you!

I agree that puzzles with progression are the best kind. This puzzle just isn't that kind of puzzle. I didn't want to make another wordle clone, there's a thousand of those and everyone's tired of that style being copied

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Today's is a quirky one that some people will solve at a glance and others will have to stare at for awhile. Personally I'm terrible at my own puzzle and would also have needed the lifelines.

Programmatically, no, but I've made about 1500 puzzles and been sharing them with friends for months and neither I nor anyone else have found a double solution yet. It would happen if I picked generic clues like BR/SL/ER (not

It doesn't use obscure words. As far as I can see BRALL is an archaic alternative spelling of BRAWL that's only listed on a site for obscure words. Dictionary.com and Merriam-Webster both have no result for that, so...that wouldn&
