You’re right. I wasn’t aware of word-in-one and it’s a similar idea. The closest I’ve seen to my game in fact. ( when I had the idea for it I wondered if anyone else had had the same idea. I’ve not seen another game doing exactly the same yet)

I’ve made it so it only shows the share button if the browser supports native sharing (navigator.share) - wordle just copies it to the clipboard on other browsers, which I found a little naff so that I didn’t really bother to do that.

Only showing the right/wrong is how it’s supposed to work. I thought about it sharing the grid like wordle, but I thought that was too much of a copy, and unlike wordle I think the wordall grid doesn’t contain as much meaning (it contains some, but I am not sure what it conveys is that interesting)

Really appreciate your interest - I’m glad you like it!

There seems a weird caching issue that I think I’ve fixed. Can you try again?

Thanks - it is behind cloudflare, and there does seem to be the odd caching issue where there is a mismatch between the files. I'll look further into it.

Thanks for the kind comment. The dark mode is on the dev plan, I just didn’t have it ready for launch.

Yes - it probably is a bit harder than Wordle. I think this is for people who like Wordle, but find it a bit too easy.

Ever since I became aware of Wordle (and its success) I’ve wanted to make my own daily word game. This is unashamedly inspired by Wordle, but unlike most Wordle derivatives it’s fundamentally a different game with a different game mechanism. It deliberately looks a bit like Wordle, as it is mainly aimed at people who currently play Wordle (I understand there’s a lot of them), but might want a bit more of a challenge. If you try it I hope you like it.

Totally agreed; in general the advice a VC will give you will be what they consider you need to do for them to be interested in investing in you.

This is not the same as ‘good’ advice, and will often be diametrically opposed to it.

I'm guessing this only affected Android devices? But did those devices have the "Allow apps from unknown sources" option checked?

I feel like there's some pretty pertinent technical details missing from the story.

(Or am I missing something?)

This is a great comment.

Imagine the investment that would suddenly start in accessibility if Google publicly announced it was an important part of search engine rankings.
