Show HN: Practice Wordle with No Limits

A little word guessing game called LingoLingoLingo that I made over the Christmas period after watching TV episodes of Lingo and being introduced to Wordle. I didn&#x27;t have the patience to wait for the new Wordle word each day and wasn&#x27;t enjoying the barrage of adverts in the official Lingo mobile apps so I thought I&#x27;d make something of my own. Started as just a quick demo in the browser console but spurred on by family members I made it into an actual website.<p>I&#x27;ve made a few improvements (particularly around making the word list more friendly - nothing worse than trying to guess a totally obscure or archaic word) and the site has been shared around friends&#x2F;family&#x2F;colleagues over the past month or so. It seems to be averaging 300+ visits per day now which honestly is surpassing my incredibly low expectations for the site.<p>Tech stack was just sticking to what I know: React &#x2F; Redux &#x2F; Styled Components, and hosted on Cloudflare pages.<p>Would love to hear any feedback &#x2F; suggestions!<p>Side note: I originally hosted this with Netlify but wasn&#x27;t keen on paying for analytics that were very clearly padded out with bots&#x2F;hackers trying to find wordpress admin pages. Interested to see if anyone has had similar experience? Using the Cloudflare JS-based analytics seems to be giving much more realistic figures and I think it&#x27;s a nice balance between purely server-log-driven analytics and the more sinister tracking-everything-you-do that you get with Google Analytics. Interestingly a lot of traffic (around one-third of all visits) is via the Bing search engine.

First word it gave me was &quot;devel&quot; which isn&#x27;t in any of my dictionaries.
