In case you didn't see the other thread, I've started working on a daily puzzle game, a la Wordle, where you get a blurry image and as you guess the image gets clearer until you get it correct. Every puzzle will be related to Ohio in some way. This is very much a work in progress right now, but please play it today and let me know what you think.

I would have got it in three but i typoed the city.  Has some potential.  I was completly off on the first two guesses and missed the clue at the bottom.  Once i saw the clue that helped

I want to update it so that it allows for "close enough" guesses at some point.

No crap. I think about 75% of tuition there goes to lawyers who "protect" the brand.

Tomorrows puzzle is easy, but there is a slight wrench. I think most will get it in two.

I did fix an issue where I don't think the image was actually cleared once you guessed correctly.

I had today's in 1, but the actual name wasn't the answer, so my score is a 3.

I got it in 1. The image was easy, guessing the right nomenclature takes still...
