Cool game!

My first thought is a button for [Add Extra Try] to add one row, and another for [I Give Up - Tell Me]

I also second the thought on not using red as the colors for the correct letters. Perhaps white-on-green for the in-correct-position count and white or blue-on-light-gray for the -present-out-of-place count?

Yeah I think that's the way to go, will leave it up to the player to decide. Will also change the colors to match the green/amber color coding, thanks!

I thought the colors were a nice nod to Mastermind.

So perhaps a Mastermind theme and a Wordle them?

:) If it's worth the effort!

Yeah I guess so! It isn't too much work :)

the easy/hard mode should increase the number of tries a person can make.

also, would be nice to keep track of time taken in secs - as I find myself coming back to it between other tasks.

Agreed, tracking time is an interesting idea!

How about two buttons, one to show answer and one to retry?

Yeah I think that makes sense, will add that as an option for the player to choose.

I would say something like "keep guessing" instead of "retry" but good suggestion.

Reveal please
