I could see something like this beating out the original. Wordle has to be 1x/day because there are only a couple thousand common 5-letter words (around 2300, if I recall correctly). It would turn repetitive. This game has O(N^4) combinations, so it can be played over and over.

I agree that Quordle is compelling but not sure I see your argument for how Wordle would get repetitive. 2300 is six years worth of words. They could shuffle the word list every 4 years and itβd be fine.
I think a big part of what makes Wordle compelling is the ritualistic daily nature so not seeing how this would beat it out.
