Show HN: Five Letters – word puzzle game

Wordle creator here. Nice work!<p>Love the touch of showing word definitions after each guess. This is something I wanted to do but ultimately avoided in favor of keeping it all client side.<p>Interesting to hear about your subscription exploration too. Will keep that in mind if I ever decide to try and monetize.

3$ a month for a word game. It&#x27;s a sad thing. We&#x27;ve really lost our way with the subscriptions.

Fun!<p>Apparently doesn&#x27;t have the word &quot;topsy&quot; in its dictionary though. Perhaps this isn&#x27;t a US English word. It&#x27;s not in SOWPODS but is in the app I use for help with cryptic crosswords.<p>What dictionary does it use?

Everything is a subscription these days.

A fun game, but it is not definitely worth the subscription. You can find other alternatives that have a greater value but at the same time are enjoyable and free.

I came across <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bert.org&#x2F;2021&#x2F;11&#x2F;24&#x2F;the-best-starting-word-in-wordle&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bert.org&#x2F;2021&#x2F;11&#x2F;24&#x2F;the-best-starting-word-in-wordle...</a> on HN the other day, and decided to do my own take on the concept as a little weekend project.

It was fun until I found the answers in the IndexedDB, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;N7QyZUW" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;N7QyZUW</a>

The only way to monetize this is to make it an ios&#x2F;android app, and have ads in it or sell it for $.99

I actually really enjoyed this. I don’t want to subscribe but I would pay up to $5 for an iOS version

Does it work on an iPad? I can’t figure it out.

Very nice!<p>One hour later...
