Hey HN, I’ve been trying to spend more time working on small fun projects and wanted to share with you a fun word guessing game I made inspired by Wordle and Minesweeper. Here’s how it works: You guess a 5 letter word, and get back a score representing the “distance” between your guess and the correct word. The lower the score, the closer you are to the correct word.

Scores for each guess are tallied…

You can play with friends in a private match, or, you can join a public Arena match to play against other players who are online. If no one else is around, you'll be matched with a bot.
