Does not show answer upon losing #10

I believe the official version of Wordle will tell you what the answer was if you are not able to guess it. M100LE does not say anything but "SORRY". Was this intentional?

Well, what do you know. It does! I've never noticed that enough to include it in the code. I might add that as an option in future, but I like the replayability of not knowing the word and trying again.

I do have plans to try and get some metrics in there (wins/losses/attempts/etc) so this would also fit in with that.

I think you are correct that the replayability of not know the answer is better. Perhaps at some point we can consider a way to ask the player if they want to see what the answer was, but for now I'm closing this.
