First puzzle is live. I will have the setup to generate a new puzzle each day from a list of words so I won't even know what each day's puzzle is. I need to enhance the sharing feature, it currently just shares a link to the game but doesn't include your score. Otherwise it's working pretty well in my testing. This one is a lot easier to administer compared to BuckEYE so it should last quite a bit longer than it did.

As a note, you can guess pretty much any word in order to get letters. Every guess doesn't have to be Ohio related, but every answer will be.

Great first guess. Made me feel better after my bomb out on today’s Wordle. 


Dang, just noticed brutus161 and the time stamp!

Another note is that the words should all be between 5-8 letters, so there is a lot more variability than with Wordle’s 5 letters only.

Let me know if you run into any weird behavior or bugs. I want to run it as a beta for a few days with just you all before trying to share to a wider audience.


That said, feel free to share on your socials if you want.

Hated it. Every letter took 3 seconds to load and trying to hit the X to delete a letter it kept freezing. The 6 letters murdered me as I got the last letter but two other letters I could not fit into a word….then didn’t think the answer was a word for solving

When you paste in, does it show everything and when you submit it goes away? or does it just paste wordio?

Performance should be better now. Try playing in a private/incognito tab or just wait until tomorrow.

One issue I’m having on IOS is when I go to delete a letter or multiple it will randomly zoom in.

Thanks for the feedback, I will take a look at that today.


Nice job on this one.
