Layout mismatch of "missed word" indicators on results of failed puzzle in Wide mode #132

Closed mgpritchard closed 7 months ago

mgpritchard commented 8 months ago

Description Upon failing a puzzle with the layout set to Wide (8 columns), the order/failure indicators on the left of the results pane are not arranged in an equivalent layout to the solutions.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Set layout to Wide
  2. Fail a puzzle
  3. Scroll down to results pane
  4. See mismatch in layout

Additional Context I suspect the 4 - column layout of the indicators on the left may be for better formatting when sharing results via clipboard, and a wide layout might break that. The route problem is difficulty of identifying which words the user failed to guess, an alternative solution might be to mark those in the table of solutions somehow e.g. underlining them.

What you've identified is right, the main purpose of the emojis on the left was for sharing results with people and it makes sense to keep them consistent. I'll consider if it's worth increasing the complexity of the UI to indicate which words were not solved.

Words now have strike-through in the results screen if you failed to solve them.
