Show HN: Battlewords – Wordle Meets Battleship

Hey everyone,

I've been working on a little side project which is a version of Wordle that you can play against others. Choose a word, then take turns guessing and see who gets it first. The twist: any letters you use in your own guess are revealed to the other player if they are in your secret word!

You can play in your browser here:

There's also an Android app available:

Unfortuantely, Apple has rejected the app as being too much of a Wordle copycat.

The tech stack is Expo/React Native on the front end, and then Firebase (Hosting, Functions and RTDB) on the backend.

If you challenge a Random Opponent and we don't find someone to play against you within 2 minutes, we'll have a Bot play against you so you can always play a game if you want to.

My friend group has been playing it for a few days now and finding it fun, but let me know what you think!
