Great point!!!! <3
Do I get an extra upvote if I point out (slightly more seriously) that you use CSS Colors Level 4 for rules like:
Not a big deal, though, as I really enjoyed the game, and appreciate you making it available to people for free. Thank you!

.bg-green {
background-color: rgb(194 225 173/var(--tw-bg-opacity)) !important;
}

Autogenerated by tailwind css. It was my first time using the library after using tachyons a lot in the past. Overall pretty nice and cool that it only includes rules that you use, but I do miss just being able to look at tachyons.css to find a rule rather than searching tailwind’s docs, which are way more verbose and in like 1k different pages.
Also overjoyed you liked the game ::)

Well I thought the rules were easy to understand, although I had the model that the word was constantly changing every time (instead of being the same winning word for everyone), if that's right. Anyway I am annoyed at you. https://i.imgur.com/DXctJnb.png
It says "E replaced with I in the WORD" and shows the E as yellow. That's wrong, and I was trying to find an anagram for "ABSEI" but I guess the E as yellow is just a bug or something because there's no E. I do realize the 4th word was not a good guess though (yellow S).

Hm, sorry for the confusion but yes you misunderstood.
When you got the yellow E, there was an E somewhere in the word but not where you guessed. Then that E was replaced with an I.
If helpful, here's what I think the words were at each step (I'm just tracing backwards with the clues so there is some guessing for step 1).
1. CAUSES
2. CASES
3. BASES
4. BASIS
5. BASICS

As the word changes, do the green letters I may have gotten always remain green? They remain valid letters and always stay in the same location?
Just played a few games - and No, they don't, though it will tell you (for example) 'S changed to G' which means that G is now in the same place the 'S' was ... unless there were two Ss of course!
Exactly right. Thanks for answering
To be honest, although I am a word game junky, I instinctively ignore new ones that use derivative names of Popular Thing. All you gotta do is come up with a different name; surely this is easier than development of the game itself.
Yeah, we debated that but it seems weird not to acknowledge the connection. The name is a 1 letter edit from wordle because it’s a twist on wordle where one letter is edited every turn. Thanks for trying it out.
If you like word games you should probably still try it :)
The stupid name isn't enough to make it not fun

A friend reached out to my partner and I with a fun idea for a game. Over the next two weekends we prototyped and polished. It’s a wordle-style guessing game but each time you guess, the mystery word is edited by one letter. Most puzzles can be solved in 3 guesses and almost all can be solve in 4 because the edit gives away a lot of information. It was really fun to hack together a tiny thing and we're excited to show it off.
Technically, it’s a next.js app deployed on vercel. All the stats and turn data are stored in local storage in your browser, no centralized database or high score mechanism at this time. We only calculate daily stats and wipe all the data daily so as not to encourage grinding. If you get stuck, there’s a cheat code but you’ll have to find it :).
Thanks for checking it out, hope you think it’s as fun as we (and our moms) do. Questions and feedback very much welcome.
