The presentation of this is nice but if you're hoping this might blow up like Wordle then you'd need a few more gimmicks because what you've built there is basically just a Countdown Conundrum (https://wiki.apterous.org/Conundrum) laid out as a square; and there's already lots of these puzzles online (plus literally decades of TV footage from Countdown too, eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n9aILIF_ms).

At the same time Wordle is just the game Lingo, no?

Yeah I don't the fact that it already technically exists plays much of a factor in how likely it is to blow up. Every now and then a new game/app comes out that renames some Japanese puzzle game and blows up.
E.g. "hashiwokakero/fences/hashi/chopsticks" or "slitherlink/fences" or anyone of Conceptis' (underrated) apps
