My favorite games of Wordle are the ones where my early guesses don't reveal any obvious information, but they give enough constraints to eventually deduce the answer without a lot of trial and error. So I made a game where that happens every time! It turns Wordle from a guessing game into more of a puzzle.

Let me know if you have any questions about how it works!

This version is honestly the best version I've played

I think Qordle is pretty neat too.

Nice job.

also can try this one: Guess a keyword on this day: https://peotik.com/otd/ give the word a context, also a kind of constraints.

I like the idea behind this. When I solve a wordle in 3-5 and the word is very constrained by my previous guesses , I tell myself I should send the previous guesses to a friend and challenge them to guess the word. Looks like this version scratches that itch!

Are you saying you designed it so that exactly one word is consistent with the clues shown?

Ah, I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Yes, exactly. The first two clues are guaranteed to be enough to determine the answer uniquely, so you never need to guess blindly -- if you can find a word that's consistent with the clues, you win.
