Ah, I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Yes, exactly. The first two clues are guaranteed to be enough to determine the answer uniquely, so you never need to guess blindly -- if you can find a word that's consistent with the clues, you win.

My favorite games of Wordle are the ones where my early guesses don't reveal any obvious information, but they give enough constraints to eventually deduce the answer without a lot of trial and error. So I made a game where that happens every time! It turns Wordle from a guessing game into more of a puzzle.

Let me know if you have any questions about how it works!
