This terrible. I have guessed several words that are in the dictionary that the game says are not, and it is maddening that it won't reveal the answer if you get locked out because you entered something that "isn't a word".
Hi-I agree with others that it'd be nice to have a pause after succeeding (with a celebratory message) before the screen disappears and moves on to the next round. I don't need a screenshot of the game. But, the fun dopamine hit of that moment of celebration is a big reason for playing any game! It's kind of anticlimactic without that.
You have "bronx" in the dictionary which is a proper noun. You also have "enrol" which is a British English spelling, while most other words seem to be American English.
i would agree. place names don't seem okay. just curious what dictionary the developer used to come up with words? perhaps a focus on the scrabble dictionary or something would be helpful here?
i just tried 'feral' as an opening and it didn't recognize it as a word. is there a dictionary being used as the basis for the coding?
I've run into a bug where I'm stuck with 4 blank spaces with a letter after them. I can't backspace but it makes the type sound if I try to type. I can try to guess but it just says word not in dictionary.
My browser was also lagging quite a bit , don't know if that contributed.
I would enjoy this more if I didn't keep hitting your Twitter link every other time I try to type on the bottom line. It is infuriating. If you could move it the game would be much more enjoyable.
Hi. I've just started playing Wheedle and it seems that every time I play and then stop for a while, when I pick it up later, all my data is lost and I have to start over again. This happens on both of my Moto G6 cell and my IPAD 6th Gen tablet. Is there a fix for this?
Any chance you could add a screen after a correct word that you can hit enter to continue through so that you can review/take screenshots of guesses with the correct word, instead of correct word entry taking you to the next puzzle?
Your game, while quite fun has an impossible option for word generation. You have no ability to type an apostrophe, yet it can generate words that have them. Case in point:
lol, sorry about ruining that streak. I copy-pasted the puzzle solution words from a list online and never saw that one. Pushing out a build now to fix that.
So far, the game seems better with the new build. Have only seen two words I considered questionable (got them both, yea me) JAPAN and ABAST. Nice to have such a fast response. Thanks!

Hi. How many levels are there? Streak at 50, still at level 3...
Level 160, and still at level 3
Omaigahdwottastreak! but how did you crack their weird dictionary?
There are endless levels.
Great game, thanks.
But encountered a 'no word' option several times, including today.
Also surprised how many common words are not accepted:
Midge, Spall, Plebs, Lupin, Relet, Doric, Bling, Hunky, Rotas,....
I'm baffled as to what dictionary doesn't contain actual words like morph, chink and mafic, but does contain an abbreviation like hippo.
I just lost because of the non-word "gotta." Yet trope was rejected as a word!
"Sicko" is a word, for some reason...
If you fill in a line, hit enter, then tab... things stop working. It becomes unresponsive.
Adding this because you asked for bugs.
Love the game!
Could you make a colourblind-friendly mode? The yellow and green are practically indistinguishable to me.
I don't know what people are complaining about. It makes it clear that the game is just experimental. I
lost at 6 to crepe using erupt as the last wor
SO FAR, STEAK OF 5
and crap, i left my caps on
this is like mastermind, come to think of it
struggled for ages - no wonder as ‘kinda’ is not a word.
Kinda is 100% a word https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oGDf1wjWp5RF_X9C7HoedhIWMh5uJs8s/view
It would be nice if you didn't lose your streak when you close the tab or browser.
Thanks for making this, though :)
Browser version crashes on button press.
No A, E, I, O, U, or Y? No idea, but I know how to spell "bullsh't."
Buggy... said there was no T, but the answer was THIEF

You don't get locked out, just hit 'delete'. And it's not using the full scrabble dictionary, this is OK

first of all, i'm enjoying playing this. Congrats.
Bug: All my data is lost every time I stop playing, even for a short while.
Also, instead of going immediately to next word, I would love to have a screen to print and share my guesses, like in wordle.
Also,, the word was Kelly, but that's a name LOL . I tried jelly and belly but the word was a proper name Kelly🙃🙃
Tonight the game didnt accept the word Bundt...,, as in bundt cake ....I think that word should be added as it's a common five letter word ty!,:):)
Remove Bronx from the dictionary if you won't include Paris or Italy. I am miffed that my streak was broken by this.

it's fun. thanks for developing.
words not being recognized though (i've been trying to use them as starter words)
- email
- bling
i will add as i come across others.
very fun game
i play for hours on my phone
:)
For some reasin it seems my Google Chrome doesn’t support HTML 5 and I can’t update it.
Are you using an American or British English dictionary? I got 'favor' and 'rumor', and then 'lorry'
Help - give up - can’t get started!
Nice game, but the white-on-yellow tiles are very hard to read for me. Black on yellow would be great!
I've run into a bug where I'm stuck with 4 blank spaces with a letter after them. I can't backspace but it makes the type sound if I try to type. I can try to guess but it just says word not in dictionary.
My browser was also lagging quite a bit , don't know if that contributed.
Help... is this a bug or am I missing something lol
I think I got the same one! no idea hah
Can’t find HTML5
Depends on your browser! Most modern ones should already be equipped with it (Chrome, Edge, Firefox)
Thanks, I have Chrome but still can’t seem to get going! Wonder why not.

Won't accept venus

I think I found a bug
Great game tho
This should be fixed now :) Thanks for reporting!
"Farts" is not in the dictionary unfortunately :[
Literally unplayable
(I jest, of course - thanks for stepping up wheels :3)
WE WON
I think we had the same idea lol
Nice! I'm using mine as the basis for another game I'd like to make using Wordle's puzzles as a mechanic :)
