I had first assumed the pool of possible hidden words just omitted all small kana words. like assumed 「しょうゆ」would never be an answer. but I guess it will just use normal よ
ideally I think it would be aware of small kana and hint that you guessed one, and even hint about dakuten and voiced consonants… maybe optimal harder/easier modes… but this app is just a modded version of OG wordle’s minified JS code, so maybe too much to ask
I actually started looking at the code to try to modify it but my JS ability is too rusty even when working in unminified code
Any idea if he will release it? I couldn’t tell from the tweets, I didn’t see it on his website, though I might have missed it, and I didn’t see it in his github repos, though again, I may have missed it. A search for 「漢字Wordle」only returned the tweet you linked, and the YT video it is playing.
Hm, I’ve been “wordling” for 19 days now, but only posted my results annoyed people with my results on Mastodon. I haven’t read any strategy related articles, but I have my own strategy which has helped me win almost every time, with 4 tries on average.
(And before I just saw yebellz’ poll, I had no idea there was a hard mode! )
Today:
Wordle 221 5/6
WORDLE🇩🇪 359 5/6
(I am very disappointed that the German Wordle isn’t called “Wörtle”. )
Also felt like I got this one with “real” thinking through the options. I’m neither good enough at Japanese nor know about languages generally to make clever statements about the puzzle design but…
it’s interesting that the kana version feels much more positional than English? like I got the ん yellow in second position and while I’m sure there are some --ん- words out there I was much more confident the word would end in ん
in English I feel less confident about these positional tricks but maybe also because it’s 5 letters vs 4 kana?
I like the dordle, although I’ve never heard of the second word
spoiler
I tried to rearrange the letters that I had found so far, couldn’t find any word that fit, so I tried combinations that sounded like they could potentially be a word and “droit” was the first one that didn’t get rejected. Turns out it was the right word…
