| This game is great! Really fun and surprisingly challenging,

| Unlike the other wordle-like games, I feel like I'm actually
| learning something with this one!
|
| Great work!

| Congrats on the game! Looks great!

| Mildly off-topic: how do you get Google ads on a website like

| even if the content is a game itself or a Web app rather than
| some content-heavy website

| Fun game. I'd love to be able to play more than one round a day.

| You can use the waybackmachine. This works for Worldle as well.

| Neat game, but I wish so many of them popping up these days

| _Especially_ ones that can be algorithmically generated to have

| that way doesn 't mean yours will as well. I'd love to keep
| playing this one, but the chances of me remembering to come back
| day after day are next to zero.

| Still, neat game though.
