Yeah it's definitely a mix of AI and me haha. The names, color schemes, and status texts are good callouts. The emojis I actually introduced to start to have a theme across games, though I didn't put them in the org chart game. A

Wow I can't believe this showed up on the front page years later. That's fun! I am still new to using Google AdSense and am enjoying the wrath of HN on this thread! Hope everyone can still enjoy the game today. Thank you for the f

If you wouldn't mind sharing a screen if you encounter that bug again, that would be helpful! Trying to reproduce it right now but cannot. Is it possible that in an earlier word, you had tried using an O in the 4th spot? That should be

I agree with your take. It's definitely a problem with the current game format. I have thought through some different alternatives, but not a fan of any of them up to this point.

Thanks for the feedback! I have tried placing the Wordle word in a few different places, but haven't settled on a place that looks good and doesn't make the Game Over flow too complex/jarring. If you want to see the word, it
