You could do this game on paper, right?
The game doesn't reveal any info that you don't already know on each turn - izzat right?

Correct.

Indeed - I actually did it on paper first, then typed it in. Also, it was easier working backwards from the finish, so my paper version reads upside-down

So it doesn't have the "Doh!" Moment that Wordle has .,."I knew I would be BIGHT, but nonetheless I tried NIGHT, RIGHT, WIGHT, FIGHT and MIGHT first"

It validates your words, and there are some pretty unlikely collections of four letters which are acceptable.

Also you can rub out what you've already done more easily than with paper.

I used one such unlikely collection today! Going to try and self-impose a hard mode: if I don't know the word, I can't use it. No speculative 'I wonder if that's a word' words. 😄

Had a couple of those myself, today included. I like your idea of a self imposed hard mode, great shout!

Didn't realise until just now that the pictograms for the results don't show the actual placement of the changed letters, just that there were 1/2/3/4 correct letters.

It'd be a bit of a spoiler if it did, show you which letter to change.
