Seems like a blatant rip-off of wordle #22

Closed mco-gh closed 2 years ago

though the repo cites wordle, nowhere does that debt appear on the web game, which is what 90+% of people will see
suggest changing "heavily inspired by" to "copy of"

I've talked to the creator of wordle to make sure he didn't have any issues with the game.

I don't want to use the phrase "copy of" because it implies that it has all the features of Wordle which it does not (hard mode, sharing, etc). Also the format is different with it not being a daily game.

Fair enough about the "copy of" verbiage. But what about this point: "though the repo cites wordle, nowhere does that debt appear on the web game, which is what 90+% of people will see". Could you cite your source on the game page?

If you don't have time to do that, I'm happy to submit a PR.
