I'm curious which aspects of Anki you find to be "very, very dated"? I haven't used Anki for very long, nor have I looked into any advanced-looking features, so perhaps I haven't run into those aspects you were referring to.

You're in luck! You can view completed puzzles by clicking the grid icon in the top right, and you can copy a Wordle-style sharing blurb by clicking on an individual puzzle.

I'll take the feedback that this feature should definitely be made more obvious.

I've been working on a clean-room reimplementation that uses the original word list and is visually similar to the original, but also allows for playing unlimited puzzles each day: https://wrd.li

(The order of the solutions is different than the original, and is randomized each day.)
