Hey, not sure if you've forgotten about QWERTLE already, but I just released a new version with unlimited Practice mode!

Hey, I just released a new update that adds multiple color schemes to help with colorblindness! At some point I may add a color blind mode that does away with the need for colors altogether, but for now this should make things a bit better. Also, there is now a gauge next to the board so you can more easily see the range of colors (unfortunately, it doesn't yet work on Firefox). Check it out! I also skipped forward a day, so if you already played today you can play again with the next word to try it out.

It's based on the measured distance between the centers of the keys, so since the keys are taller than they are wide, it's a shorter distance between horizontal keys than vertical. As for informing the user about what colors mean, that was what the examples were meant to indicate: Q is as far as possible, and U is as close as possible (horizontally adjacent). But as was suggested I'm going to try adding a gauge next to the game board so it's more clear

I always start with FRUIT, no idea if it's optimal but it works pretty well. Also, unlike Wordle, there's no downside to guessing words with repeated letters, so something like FLUFF could probably work too

You can tap the question mark in the top left to see the instructions again! But yeah, I can see how the color scheme might be confusing. As Kluggy suggested, I might add a gauge on the side of the board which should help prevent that mistake

That's why I added the examples with descriptions, but I can understand if they were unclear. I can add a gauge to the game board, thanks for the recommendation

Thanks for the feedback. I thought about colorblindness and figured it wouldn't matter since the important part is the brightness, not the hue. Is that not the case? But anyway that said I'm now kicking myself for not realizing that that doesn't help with differentiating the green for correct... any ideas on how to address this?

I can change the verbiage to say "not in word list", but FYI it's using the same word list as Wordle so Ponzi would not be accepted there either.
