       What if fediverse instances battled each other in a daily word game?A bot posts a word to guess. You reply privately. Only real dictionary words accepted. End of day: instances ranked by average score, not size. A tiny instance can top the leaderboard.Words come from player suggestions. First-try guesses carry less weight to keep it fair.English only first.#Fediverse #FLOSS #Wordle

       @apps I love the idea of inter-instance games! Would it be just like "OK guess the word" or would the bot give a clue, a bit like crosswords?

       @mrfryLike Wordle/SUTOM. You guess a word, the bot tells you which letters are correct, misplaced or absent. No clue given.

       Some of you asked how it works. Here is an example:You send a word privately to the bot. It replies like this:🟥 🟦 🟨 🟦 🟥 G    R    E    A    TRed = right letter, right spotYellow = right letter, wrong spotBlue = not in the word6 attempts to find it.

       @apps Why red for the right letter when most games use 🟩why blue for a wrong letter when most games use ⬛

       @joelThis was just a quick example. If the project moves forward, the color scheme will be decided by the community.

       @niavyYes, same concept! But community driven and played directly on the fediverse.

       I imagine single-user instances would always top the leaderboard. One person gets it right, that's 100%.@apps@toot.fedilab.app

       @danjones000There would be a minimum number of players per instance to appear on the leaderboard.

       @martinlentinkThe fun of having a federated game where instances challenge each other.

       @appsMaybe use symbols instead/on top of colors to make it more accessible? (Without much thought, I'd say check mark if correct, ? if wrong spot, X if not in the word)

       @koalouYes, I plan to use custom emojis with alt text for accessibility.

       @apps Love the concept. What authority are you planning to use for "real dictionary'? My preferred is #Wiktionary. And, as dictionaries do engage in bias, I am opposed to some, such as (English) Websters.

       @apps @danjones000 wait so that would mean I could never win cause theres only one account on my server?
