Part of what makes Wordle so popular and so clone-able is that it's a simple game where you have six guesses to uncover the solution. It's a bite-sized conundrum you can spend a few minutes puzzling over before getting on with your day (unless you want to use Wordlebot to explain in great detail how bad each of your guesses were).

The interface is pretty slick—when you uncover a word it'll be highlighted and you can click on it in the sidebar to quickly take you to
