I agree with others about the clicks. I weirdly got it on the first guess and thought it would be revealed after. Or more of the squares would be revealed per guess a la wordle

Something I’ve noticed that I didn’t expect is that people are able to guess a lot of albums in only one or two squares. Some of this is luck and image layout paradigms being surprisingly consistent (titles at the top!), but we also may have better context-based image memory than we think. There’s an obscure setting to increase the difficulty, which makes the squares smaller (or larger) to combat this.

Interesting idea about the reveal! I’ll consider adding that (or some cheap version of placing the image in the success modal at least).
