Thanks for all the feedback! I've now added a third, red color that indicates that the correct piece type was moved, but not necessarily the correct piece.

Thanks, good idea! I can see some cases where you don't necessarily want to play the same correct 3 moves – if you just want to test a bunch of other moves to get more information (yellow/greys). But there could be a button to automatically play the moves you've already gotten right.

Make the previous green guesses clickable to play them again.

Good idea

Thanks for the feedback!

I am planning to add a third color for the correct piece, but wrong move. Just need to find out what to do if it _also_ yellow. Maybe show both colors? I'll figure out something. Thanks for the feedback!

I'd suggest that the current yellow isn't very useful. Right piece wrong move=yellow seems much closer to the spirit for me

I was actually in the opposite boat. Right move, wrong time was intuitive and I would be lost if a box was yellow and I actually made a wrong move. Maybe "right piece wrong move" could be a yellow outlined box with grey inside or something.

I have seen some other language wordles use yellow or green coloring of upper diagonal part when the consonants is right but wrong sound. That could be an approach. See how to at https://solladal.github.io/wordle-tamil/. (I don't think there is translation. But pictures should give the idea)

That's what I went with. I have implemented this feature now: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1413265/180040056-..., but haven't deployed it yet. Thanks for the suggestions!

I bought the domain before I knew what I was gonna do with it :D

But I have plans for some extra modes or games that are less Wordle-like. They're not exactly GeoGuessr-like either, although being dropped onto a chess square and finding out whether you're on c3 or g6 could provide some fun!

FWIW, I think this is a really cool idea but to me it also seemed like the comparison with Wordle was a bit unusual. But I'm fatigued by Wordle variants, so maybe it's just me trying to view it through a different lens.

Thanks for the feedback! For now I'm selecting games where they play near-optimal moves or where the continuation is somewhat logical, so that you could narrow down the options by combining several logical continuations into one guess. I think it would be really hard to solve if an illogical bad move appeared in the line. However, since I'm storing the solve percentage of each puzzle, it would be fun trying it now and then to compare the difficulties.

Adding OTB games is a good idea. I am thinking of adding some classical games, but I'm not sure if I'll have a new category or just add them to the regular daily ones.

Yeah I have gotten some reports that dark mode plugins could mess up the board. If you can turn it off for specific websites, I suggest doing that, and rather use the dark mode on chessguessr.com.

I try to carefully pick games where you don't have to guess amongst random bad lines. There could be several logical continuations, and then you could combine variations into one guess to narrow it down. In that sense, some of the same Wordle strats apply. Consequently, most of the positions are taken from games between high-rated players, where their moves are logical or near-optimal. Two of them have featured world champion Magnus Carlsen.

That's really cool. I'm rethinking my opinion :) I think it really depends on the positions that you curate. I tried todays one, and managed to get it in 5. so definitely not easy and makes you think a bit more like how players at that level think.
