Hello HN, My wife and I developed this game as we like word games such as Wordle. The game is designed to run about 5 minutes. The goal is to guess 5-letter words within a decreasing time constraint.<p>The words can be entered with a keyboard or by tapping the letters in the correct order. If the word is not guessed in time, it will drop in one of the 7 slots below. After guessing the next word you get another chance to guess the word that got dropped and recover.<p>At the end of the game you see a summary of the play with a view of color coded bubbles. This summary can be shared by copying it to the clipboard and then pasting it in a post.<p>Since we found new players sometimes struggling getting the game, we added two low stress practice modes: Chill (no word time limit, just an overall 5 min limit) and Easy (a 30s timelimit, opposed to the 15 with Fast).<p>We also added the game as an App to the App store, it has the same experience as the Web App version.<p>We hope you enjoy the game and look forward to your feedback, specifically the game play.
