Logged into the OpenAI platform this morning and had to double check they hadn't pivoted into a crypto company with these new names

Update:

The game amazingly had 132,411 players yesterday and received tons of player feedback. After a long night talking with players and play testing I’ve shipped the following changes:

.

1. I’ve kept the 30 second timer but you now continue through the whole 18 words to get a final score of x/18.

2. I’ve added a new share feature to better show your result in a similar Wordle style.

.

Thanks again for all the feedback and for checking out the game!

According to my analytics only 32 people out of 12,145 got all 18 in todays puzzle so far!

Haha I've never heard of this but lucky i went with 18

Very true and it's a bit lazy.

I'm load a short wordlist first and then the longer version async so it doesn't really affect how long until you can start playing.

Waste of bandwidth is true. Cloudflare pages hates me

Thanks everyone for the feedback! Two questions

1. For a version without the timer what would you like to happen if you are just completely stuck on a word? Hints to reveal letters or skip the word?

2. For those who like the timed version would you prefer to continue when you miss a word and then get a final score out of 18?

Interesting idea but too many people mistype / mispell on first attempt (mostly me)
pompomsheep
·vorgestern·discuss
Ok yes all good examples. Have reverted back ot the large dictionary for now which accepts all these
pompomsheep
·vorgestern·discuss
It should have shown you!
pompomsheep
·vorgestern·discuss
Yeah its just the single index.html file feel free to download it and adapt
pompomsheep
·vorgestern·discuss
Haha yeah the 300k list contains so really obscure stuff
pompomsheep
·vorgestern·discuss
Did you find a word that wasn't accepted you thought should be?

I do have another version where it accepts ANY word but I found it quite unsatisfying when I survived by randomly spamming combinations and finding a really obscure word.

So am currently running it against a 20,000 word wordlist instead of my larger 300,000 wordlist

·vorgestern·discuss
Yeah for sure I agree just kept it simple for now but will improve if people like it
pompomsheep
·vorgestern·discuss
Thanks! I thought it was fun to throw people straight into the game without instructions but you think it too unclear?
pompomsheep
·vorgestern·discuss
Oof yeah thanks! Fixed now

Hmm I'm also macOS webkit and can drag no problem. Are you using Safari?

It is also possible to tap each individual letter like you described as an alternative control method but I've found dragging to be more intuitive so is the standard control.

On desktop you can also type the letters with your keyboard ;)
