Grey-haired back-end dev has a go at a web-based game using html/css/js only. The interface is (very) similar to Wordle, but it's a different game based on guess-the-word letter-by-letter Hangman.

The increasing number of words means increasing the length of the game, which seems like too high a price to pay for errors, even when errors are initially unavoidable.
You might want to copy Wordle’s word list https://static.nytimes.com/newsgraphics/2022/01/25/wordle-so... since it avoids merely plural words (like PLUGS) that aren’t as interesting to guess imho
The objective is to reveal all the hidden words by guessing letters, one-by-one. At the outset there is only one word to guess, but each incorrect letter adds another word. Eight wrong letters and it's game over.
There's the "traditional" daily game where everyone has the same words.
There is also an all-you-can-eat training mode where the words are randomly picked. Training games can be shared with others, so players can compete in groups how ever they like.
