Pretty impressive; all the layout, the logic and the end result. It actually made it somehow "easier" to play. Great work!

Thank you! Oftentimes when playing Wordle, I use the address bar to write out the letters that I got right like so: T__ST. This allows me to visualize how I might fill the gaps. Playing in the spreadsheet definitely feels easier for me.
Since the Settings sheet hosts the list of past and future Wordles, this also serves as an archive and a way to play the next games.
Also, the user can add a timed trigger to reset the game (and move on to the next word) on a 24 hour cycle, just like the real Wordle. But I left it as a manual item to click in the menu.
