Thank you! Definitely want any feedback on if it becomes too hard...trying to dial that in a bit more. Appreciate you taking the time.

Hi everyone!

I recently made Rung...a daily clue/word game that builds off of my family's love for trivia and riddles. I finally had some spare time over the last couple of months to devote to it and I'm excited about how it's turning out so far.

The game is fairly simple...there is one hidden answer (that is the same for everyone, each day). Each player gets five clues descending in order from really cryptic to obvious and they're worth from 5 points down to 1. If you're bold and guess right early, you get more points from that day and your average will be higher over time.

A wrong guess burns two rungs while a skip burns one. So, you can't just blindly guess your way through the day without some penalty.

In terms of build...it's a single static page on a Cloudflare Worker. It's also free with no account needed.

Today's is live and I'll be here for as long as needed to answer any questions. I'd love your feedback on what might make it better. Thank you for your time.

Well, it really comes down to how confident you feel about the first clue. Some folks really like to optimize the amount of points they're getting and what their average is...so if they really don't know it and guess wrong then the max they can get that day is 3 points. Versus a 4 which could help their overall average. If you're only looking at it from the perspective of a streak and guessing something, then it really doesn't make a difference.
