The author has written an explanation that is worth reading before starting the game: https://css-tricks.com/equilateral-triangle-perfect-paragrap...

To be honest this game is a bit of a mess. Normally you would pick a font size or line length, and find a fitting lineheight last. Here we are for example guessing line length based on a given line spacing. But, still useful to drive the point home there is some relation.

Agreed. In my experience building for the web, line length is usually the constraint that other dimensions are chosen around: the width of the device, a fixed-width column of content, or a specified width for a dialog or modal.

In this game, I was able to easily score perfect for line height and font size sliders, but it found it quite difficult to score anything above 0 for the line length slider.

The problem I find with both websites is that I prefer the look of the websites in Safari reader mode.
