Two Player Wordle

On the Wordle bandwagon...

I've created a two player Wordle - called Word Fight (https://www.wordfight.me). Where you play others to guess the five letter word in less turns.

As one of the many Wordle obsessed, I play it daily with my partner. While we had our morning coffee a few months ago, competing with each other to see who could guess it in the least number of turns, I came up with this idea to make Wordle a two player game.

With a chess elo rating system, global ranking, and leaderboard - the Word Fight game helps us to answer the question: who's better at Wordle?

I'd love feedback from the community, what works with the game, what doesn't. All feedback welcome at [email protected]

Thanks!

My wife and I do Wordle (and a few others) side by side. It is a time for bonding for us. Using one phone is awkward. Now if we could share a game across two phones ....

Same word on two phones? I guess that's the same idea but as a collaboration. Unfortunately, this is a competitive game. Which often leads NOT to bonding. My partner gets awfully upset with me when I win...
