Yeah I’ve been keeping an eye on the stats and making some micro adjustments where I can to make it easier (and more satisfying for players who don’t solve the full thing, but do get a couple categories). I put opening passage in the title of this, but it actually selects a range from the most popular part of the book & gives me a handful of passages to choose from— and then I can make some manual adjustments to the range too if I don’t like the suggestions

I was thinking about changing the hints more… like loldle (wordle esque game for league of legends) uses emojis in their classic mode, something like that might be easier. Could just add it as an addition or maybe as a mercy hint… still thinking about it & seeing where people get stuck statistics wise

Your idea sounds pretty fun too, and that wouldn’t have the same public domain restrictions that I’ve locked myself to lol

They’re on like their 3rd book and haven’t yet, but she’s a big Agatha Christie fan & there’s a few hurdles to jump through if I want to include more modern stuff. Plus the classics are pretty recognizable so that helps too

I’m on level 11 and I’m now convinced the number 7 does not exist

Really addictive, played for a few hours and ended up with the Rockefeller Center. Wasn’t able to get that space station yet- one thing I noticed is that on the mobile version of the web app you can’t see full item names sometimes. Made it so it was tricky knowing if I’m getting a replica.
