To start with, I love the game, but I've been noticing in the last few days the total guesses seems off for me. For example, today I had 4 incorrect guesses and 32 correct guesses so my score should have been 36/37 but it showed 35/37. Yesterday I had 1 incorrect guess and 32 correct guesses so my score should have been 33/37 but it showed 34/37. I've only noticed this, this week and could find nothing online about others seeing this or an open issue here. FYI, I'm using FireFox 100.0 on a Mac. Thanks!

what the fuck

twice recently one of the daily answers has been "gipsy" which is, fully a racial slur, and shouldn't be included in the word pool for answers.

I love wide mode! But the answer list when you finish is still in skinny mode (4 across, 8 down). The answer layout doesn't correspond to the puzzle grid layout. Can you make it so when you finish in wide mode, the answer display in wide mode (8 across, 4 down)?

The UI doesn't appear to work properly on iPad (works great on iPhone though).

I'm using an iPad Pro 12.9 inch with iOS 14.8.1 tested on both Safari and Chrome. Using the "Request Desktop Site" doesn't make any difference.

Updating to iOS 15 to see if it makes any difference and I will report back.

I will try to submit a PR if it's a non-trivial fix.

Create "seeds" that can be shared to other players which allow them to recreate the round you just played - ie, with the same words in the same spots. This allows people to share their "PB" (personal best) seeds for others to try (this is analogous to sharing scrambles within the speedcubing community).

Hi Bryan, Duotrigordle #29 included the word "mammy." Please add it to your filter list. Thanks.

Just since you're linking to "lower number" versions of Wordle, of the sixteen-word versions Sedecordle ( https://www.sedecordle.com ) is on #27 as of today (12 Mar 2022), while Hexadecordle ( https://hexadecordle.co.uk ) is on #24.

I zoom out to play, and end up with a lot of spare space on either side of the monitor. I like to see a wide mode that uses responsive design to fit as many columns as are possible.

Scroll refresh on mobile wipes board on practice game

Currently it is pretty janky with reported issues with clipboards, etc. A possible improvement would be to use a textarea field that the user can edit freely.

I've started the practice board three times because I can't figure out how to advance to the next board after completing the first four puzzles. When all four are answered I've clicked on everything on that page and find nothing that brings up the next set of four puzzles. Help.

This would reduce the time spent scanning back over XX words to find the green letters.

Filling in yellow letters if it's known where they must be would also be interesting, but might be considered too much.

Self-explanatory

allow spacebar to clear the line so you can start typing over faster

Really like this game. I saw people wanted wide mode. That would be great. I also like the fact that completed parts are fading out. Is there a chance to completely hide them, and use up their space? so when you are down to the last 4 (or more if wide), all the uncompleted ones would be grouped on the same row side by side.

Navigating directly to https://duotrigordle.com currently isn't working - and ports 443 and 80 both return "connection refused" though cURL requests. @thesilican has duotrigordle been taken offline?

I've seen this in a couple other versions.

Allows the user to help G_ _SS the word with blanks where the unknown letters are.

Example:

G R A S S. R & A are wrong. G and S S are right

Allow user to type: G - SPACE - SPACE - S - S for the next guess.

G _ _ S S. Visualize without the wrong letters, and can't be submitted as a guess

Currently the common solving technique would be to use X's where the wrong letters are (ie: GXXSS), but then you've gotta visualize without the X's, for which most people just resort to pen & pad. 🤷

If a board is highlighted and an input violates one of the guess rules (invalid letter in green spot, letter in yellow spot), then it would be nice if the input displayed some kind of error to show that it breaks one of the rules (e.g. letters turn yellow)

Hi,
Firstly thank you for creating such an enjoyable game. Though I liked the original layout and game play more, I still enjoy playing the latest version.
One thing I have observed is that the streak count is not reflected accurately. Despite not completing the board yesterday, because I exceeded the number of guesses by 4, it shows that I am still on a streak. I also stopped playing mid-game the day before and it did not reset the streak count. You might want to look into it.

I noticed that after guessing words sometimes there is CSS glitch that makes some cells with letters width slightly bigger than others. If I had to guess, the issue might be in calculating the width during the transition animation, as it occurs only after guessing the word. See attached video.

My setup: macOS Monterey and Brave Browser 1.43.93 based on Chromium 105.0.5195.127 (Official Build) (x86_64), screen resolution 3840 × 2160 (but it seems not relevant)

Using a phone and by accident reloading a practice-run resets the page to non-practice page.
I might, or not, be the only one who would enjoy finishing the practice mode, to get the dopamine and adrenaline running before going to take a crack at the real one of the day.

And... Thanks for building!
This is very much enjoyed!

If a wordle can be solved without knowing any of the dictionary words, it should be auto-solved and the player should get that word for free. Examples:

• five greens
• four greens and one yellow
• three greens and two yellows where the two yellows are in different positions

Never fear, I fully understand that this request will not be merged into this repo - I'm creating the issue as I'm going to do this for fun and create a PR for it so others can pull it down if they want to play this version.

No complaints if this issue (and associated PR) is rejected!

Various users in this reddit thread have been reporting Duotrigordle to not be working on Samsung devices. However as I don't have a Samsung device it will be difficult to troubleshoot

Sort boards by most letters in the word, that way you can focus on solving ones with the most matches at the top of the page without scrolling.

point weights:
green = 1 point
yellow = 0.5 point

4g+1y = 4.5 points
3g+1y = 3.5 points
5y = 2.5 points

On the new version the Current Streak value doesn't seem to be updating

Hello !

I really like this game, however it would be better if it was compatible with my native language (French)

Thanks for making this! Any chance of a widescreen mode like Octordle has now?

A group of friends and I play this every day and after everyone's shared their results, there's always some discussion about where we screwed up, the state of the board when solving certain words, etc.

I play on my phone and end up doing a lot of scrolling and searching after the game is finished. I always thought it would be nice if I could click one of the answers in the bottom right and the game jumped to that board.

Great game. Thank you.

How can I move my play history as displayed in the histogram to a new browser?

Hi there! I really like this concept, and it is both very fun and challenging. I made a clone of this app myself, which is currently running at https://errorgamer2000.github.io/duotrigordle-clone/ . I added a number of improvements:

• Light mode
• Better keyboard style
• more mobile-friendly (in some ways, still working out some design bugs)
  • No more wide mode in mobile
  • Keyboard key height stays the same, the width shrinks to fit similar to wordle
• Better board design
• Better header design
• Use css grid and children for key indicators, rather than linear gradients, and add gaps to make it easier to discern different board indicators
• Offline mode (via service worker)
• PWA

Could you please give me your opinion on the design and functionality, and maybe consider adding some of the things to your version?

The source files are at https://github.com/ErrorGamer2000/duotrigordle-clone/ if you want them.

As per the below image, as of daily challenge #252 the results aren't listed.

When I click on bar-chart-icon (top-right part of the screen), and then in the Statistics dialog box, there's a "List" link on top of the Close button. Clicking on that gets us to the Game History dialog box. It always shows the first 22 games that I completed, but I'm more interested in the last 22 games, especially if I can quickly figure out if I missed a day or two.

Otherwise, good work on getting me addicted to this game.

Hi,

If I would provide a list of words in Dutch, would you be willing to set it up on like https://nl.duotrigordle.com/ or https://duotrigordle.com/nl (that saves the hassle of a https cert for that subdomain) ?

If not, would you mind if I set it up on a server somewhere, just your version but with dutch words maybe? Let me know what you think.

I don't think it will buy you many coffee's, but I'm sure it will get you a couple fanatic players :)

Tom

Sorry not a code issue but couldn’t find another place to ask…

why is the game named duotrigordle? Doesn’t that mean something to do with 23?

There are a group of us trying to figure this out.

Thx!

With the "hide completed boards" option turned on, it can be a little confusing when you complete a board and it's replaced by the next board in the lost instantly - it looks like the board's content changes. It would be nice to add some animation or a quick popover to make it clear that the answer you just added completed a board.

Thanks!

Show letters as you type them above the boards, allowing people to see their current guess regardless of where they are looking on the board.

This would reduce the time spent scrolling around looking for the next best word to attempt.

Probably will quit playing I hate it so much

To my knowledge, "gipsy" is an outdated term that - while some may connect with - many others within Roma/Romani communities view as a racial slur due to its many centuries of use in a derogatory way. Including a word that has this kind of historical baggage and that has been used to harm marginalized communities in the game's dictionary is inappropriate.

I have played every day recently and haven’t lost but only have a 3 day streak. It’s not that important, but maybe you have a glitch?
Btw, I love the new format! Brilliant changes. I’m way less likely to make an error because I don’t see a letter. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I do think the timing thing is weird. If you put the game down for awhile, it counts all that time. Doesn’t matter all that much but weird.
Thanks. Love the game. One of my faves.

There is something wrong with the calculation of the average times, see screenshot (dutch version, but the reporter also saw it in the english version). Maybe if you have not done 7 yet?

I see there is a method to add in the score of a played game not in ones list, but would it be possible to add the ability to play a specific game one might of missed, due to being on travel, etc?

Entering a correct guess seems to brick safari; the guess registers but safari crashes entirely

Close to the end of game, few times when all 5 boxes for a word seem to have a green box at some point.

Can we add autofill for them?

(I love the wide / hide completed btw, thanks!)

One small thing:

could you please show the "current standing" on the top of the screen please?
For example, I have Boards Complete: 24/32 Guesses Used: 29/37 right now. I would like an easier way to know If I have enough tries left to solve them all. Something like "5 boards and 5 guesses left", or "you have 1 more mistake" / "no more mistakes allowed to finish all" or anything like that.

Thanks!

I’m experiencing a bug in mobile. I tested your game on chrome and safari on an iPhone 12. Glitches on both browsers.

Ive attached pics of what I see. Basically it seems to be condensing all the entries into 32 individual boxes instead of showing the entries for each one within the 32 options. Hope this helps! Would love to keep Play on mobile :)

Proposal: introduce a dusky shade of yellow

Rationale
In the latter stages of the game the board is filled with lots of bright yellow cells. Unfortunately most of them convey little meaning and reduce signal:noise ratio. E.g. the same letter can be repeated in the column multiple times because I have been solving another boards. Moreover, repeated letters can hide another valid letter, e.g. one occurence of 'L' can be easily lost in 20 occurences of 'E', so one has to go tediously through all yellows in search of this case.
This is not a problem when there are only 6 rows and 1 board, but for 32 rows and several boards ...
So the proposal is to introduce a dusker shade of yellow for cells of lesser significance with the same meaning but helping bright yellow cells to stand out.

Scenario 1
Keep bright yellow only for the last letter of the kind in the column. Other yellows have to be darker.
Scenario 2
When a letter finds its 'green' place, other occurences at the board have to become dark yellow as irrelevant. Although this is slightly hinders looking for 'double letters within the word' case, I think this UI change might be better overall.
