DungZeekFu | 3 years ago | on: Show HN: Can you lose at Wordle if you tried?

I seem to have found a bug (or the word list is drastically different from Wordle). The game says I have 3 possible words remaining, but every Wordle solver website says I only have 2 (and I only have 2 guesses remaining, so this is the difference between the game being winnable and not). The guesses I used for today were WRITE,BOODY,VOUCH,COMMA (and at this point the only two possible words are FOCAL and LOCAL, but it says that there are 3 possible words).

Another point of confusion is that the first row says 2318 possible words, but there only seem to be 2309 words in the dictionary in the code

True, if you are only shooting to solve it in 9 then it can be easy with the right strategy. But many in our friend group are no longer satisfied with 9 and want 7 or fewer guesses :)

Hi everyone I am the creator of Quordle and I am glad that people are enjoying playing it :)

I also appreciate all the feedback and I am looking to improve the experience when playing on desktop!

I have had one way before they shipped out the SDK, and all I have to say is that it is quite a bit more janky than the hype lets it seem.

Fingers will disappear without notice when nothing all that crazy is happening and the frame rate of the device (which is speced at 120+ fps) is much closer to around 45-55 fps. This leads so some major problems with long term finger acquisition that has to be handled by the developer. Quite frustrating to do things yourself that should be handled by the SDK.

While I understand that this SDK batch is a "beta/alpha" test, it is much buggier than it should be. The SDK will hang the entire OS quite often, and there is simply no way to detect if the device is actually plugged in. It will report invalid finger data rather than telling you that no device exists.

And the javascript API is so new, that it is borderline useless. It doesn't even properly report finger width, which is kind of sad since that worked many versions ago.

Overall a cool device with lots of hype, but needs a lot more work to even be mildly useful for anything more than just simple gestures.

man, you don't have an ethernet internet connection, yet you are installing ubuntu...

I think it is obvious what is wrong with this picture.

That aside, this will be a great improvement for ubuntu as constant progression will allow for more bug fixes and cool new features on a more regular basis (not 6 months apart)
