The text you get when you click share should indicate which puzzle you solved, in some way (e.g. like the number in "Wordle 247 3/6"). Having some kind of graphic in this sharing text would feel nicer, I think, as well, someh

The concept of diminishing returns, perhaps, together with the corollary, by which I mean the fact that you can often get easier profits or make progress a lot more easily by switching to some less explored avenue.

When considering selling points, everyone seems to be focusing on the advantages of being able to run traditional games without console hardware or delays for installation, but no-one seems to be talking about how something like this could
