What if you had to earn your undos? As opposed to starting with N of them in the beginning.

What if you scored like wordle but based on undos? 1 undo used, 2 undos used... Up to 5 undos used. This incentivizes the user to try and not undo if possible.

I think the eliminated score method is kind of redundant with the wordled scoring, just make the player guess the 1 word left and be wordled?

Really cool and fun idea, we had a great time playing with it and probably will add it to our daily rotation.

Maybe just give the player the word and no undos? There's no mystery then, it's just chess, but it would further cement the game as the opposite of wordle.

Reducing the Undos to about 3 could be enough to make that strategy less of a certain win

But you're smart to be generous with the Undos while introducing the game, because it helps users get familiar with it

Maybe add a "hard mode" that reduces undos to 2-3

... as if it isn't hard enough already :-D
