Show HN: Heardle Is a Phonemic Wordle

Snowy weekend project with my partner who studies speech production.

Five-phoneme words can be long or short orthographically, which keeps the gameplay interesting. We designed this to be playable for folks (like me) who don't know IPA, but this is also a great excuse to ping the linguist in your life.

Powering the interface is CMUdict, a great and openly licensed source of pronunciations (though it doesn't include all inflected forms, which leads to some gaps in the allowed word list).
