Online word games

(1/1)

So, i decided to try some web programming and ended up making an online daily word game. If any of you like playing wordle, maybe you want to check mine out and tell me what you think. www.verbalshift.com  This was my very first attempt at something like this.

I had a quick look, and found a word, but it wasn't the word it was thinking of. I am not the right person to give feedback though, as my brain doesn't work how society expects. I'm kinda like Ted Bundy, but without the murder and mayhem 😄

At one point in today’s puzzle, I had two “other words” lined up at the same time and only got credit for one of them.  The non credited word was pacer or paces.  Don’t recall the one I got credit for.  Stood out because I’m like, “uh… that was a word…” and then later when I was brute forcing it, got credit for it.

Thanks for looking at it guys. The game has an internal word list of approx 3,800 five letter words. If the word you make is not in that internal list then it won’t be found. Most common words are there and quite a few obscure ones too but it is not 100%. Only words in the internal list can be ‘daily’ words or even found as ‘other’ words. I culled the list deliberately to avoid negative words or potentially offensive words being part of the words chosen for the puzzle but maybe i need a secondary list to identify all the others as ‘other’ words only.

That might explain why.my word- POUND isn't in the list 😄
