Hey everyone,<p>I&#x27;ve been working on a little side project which is a version of Wordle that you can play against others. Choose a word, then take turns guessing and see who gets it first. The twist: any letters you use in your own guess are revealed to the other player if they are in your secret word!<p>You can play in your browser here:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;battlewords.riley.dev&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;battlewords.riley.dev&#x2F;</a><p>There&#x27;s also an Android app available:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=dev.riley.battlewords" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=dev.riley.batt...</a><p>Unfortuantely, Apple has rejected the app as being too much of a Wordle copycat.<p>The tech stack is Expo&#x2F;React Native on the front end, and then Firebase (Hosting, Functions and RTDB) on the backend.<p>If you challenge a Random Opponent and we don&#x27;t find someone to play against you within 2 minutes, we&#x27;ll have a Bot play against you so you can always play a game if you want to.<p>My friend group has been playing it for a few days now and finding it fun, but let me know what you think!
