You use share buttons in games / on websites? I've never even clicked one, what even should that do, give a copyable text or a URL to a picture to share or so?

I personally don't but one look at wordle and you'll see that there are a lot of people that actually do :D

Wordle has the most fantastic share button I've seen. It copies a spoiler-free version of your game board into your clipboard so you can share as you wish, no links or growth spam. Normally I avoid the buttons because they just try to paste a link to my twitter profile.

Just tried it out!:

EDIT: the formatting doesn't seem to work here, green and yellow squares disappear after posting the comment.
