Show HN: Practice Wordle with No Limits

A little word guessing game called LingoLingoLingo that I made over the Christmas period after watching TV episodes of Lingo and being introduced to Wordle. I didn't have the patience to wait for the new Wordle word each day and wasn't enjoying the barrage of adverts in the official Lingo mobile apps so I thought I'd make something of my own. Started as just a quick demo in the browser console but spurred on by family members I made it into an actual website.

I've made a few improvements (particularly around making the word list more friendly - nothing worse than trying to guess a totally obscure or archaic word) and the site has been shared around friends/family/colleagues over the past month or so. It seems to be averaging 300+ visits per day now which honestly is surpassing my incredibly low expectations for the site.

Tech stack was just sticking to what I know: React / Redux / Styled Components, and hosted on Cloudflare pages.

Would love to hear any feedback / suggestions!

Side note: I originally hosted this with Netlify but wasn't keen on paying for analytics that were very clearly padded out with bots/hackers trying to find wordpress admin pages. Interested to see if anyone has had similar experience? Using the Cloudflare JS-based analytics seems to be giving much more realistic figures and I think it's a nice balance between purely server-log-driven analytics and the more sinister tracking-everything-you-do that you get with Google Analytics. Interestingly a lot of traffic (around one-third of all visits) is via the Bing search engine.

First word it gave me was "devel" which isn't in any of my dictionaries.

Boo! It didn't take my preferred start word "aeros"

really cool :) Cheers!
