Thank you! Yes, I still am :) - I have received that feedback from another player too, so I will be adding an alert when you've 'removed' a letter if you're using a physical keyboard. I run into this issue too. Life is crazy here, so this particular tweak may not show for a few days

Ah right, thanks for that. Had meant to but some life events a few days ago moved up my launch schedule by a few weeks, will clean that up. Thanks. [update: 95% of the .log() messages are now cleaned up including any spoilers, also fixed some display bugs another tester/player mentioned. I did not force push the change out to everyone's PWAs, but if your new to the game or reload manually, you'll see the newest version]

>> "after you've played, the best way to keep playing is vicariously through others"

so, my (non-evidence-backed) hunch is that part of what made Wordle so viral was that the player, after finishing, could not continue playing - but could _continue the experience_ of the game by sharing it with others. In my mind, if the player could play Wordle many more times in a given day, they would burn out before sharing. All of that said, I do like the idea of maybe putting more puzzles behind a Stripe purchase or something.

Thanks on the bug info, that is helpful

Hey thanks! Yeah, so I have considered that, especially the previous week's puzzles. I am wary of a potential key to wordle's success though, which is--after you've played, the best way to keep playing is vicariously through others

On eBay: yup that's the plan. Their affiliate program has quite generous terms, moreso than Amazon.

On the keyboard issue: sounds like it may be a bug. Did you by chance play the practice round first? Looking into it. [Edit: looks like a display issue for the non-mobile version of the game on certain screen sizes, workin on a fix]

There's a contradiction in your reasoning.

Currently the money required to safeguard the bitcoin network is equal to the cost to electrify a small country like Argentina.

You say users can be shielded from the future transaction fees b/c of Lightning. Ok, well where does the money to safeguard come from if mining blocks produces less and less of it -- and users don't pay fees b/c of Lightning?

[edit: it's now gone again] Thanks, I see it there too now.
