not quite as helpful, but this reminded me of: https://wordly.org/wordle-games/haskle "a wordle clone for learning haskell functions"

and the anonymous, relatively intelligent discussions too.

a few key differences come to mind:

* screen type vs paper

* size

* attention span reduction (even without notifications and so on, a phone automatically gets a negative amount of focus on a single thing)

* "lost cost" to start using

trying each of those specifically is possible - and will hint at much more.

while missiles can be built to have irregular routes, this is more important for missile-based defense. there, with the distances and speeds involved it will cause the interceptor to need to counter the irregularities, which will make it need to also be much more advanced. small changes in thrust however (at a later time - and thus higher speed) can cause only so much of a change.

but more importantly - light-based interception can be re-pointed much faster then a missile can change it's own course.

It's running in the browser. (I checked with an "alert") so its not that bad.

Edit: nvm, it seems (according to a comment here by the author) that it is sent to the server and verified.

Edit 2: indeed, once the answer worked locally, it got sent - and got stuck at "Submitting..." (locally, I clicked the alert)

There is a (slight, but important) difference between the syntactic meaning, and the semantic meaning.

you are correct that reversing a string gives back irrelevant things. (and you don't need to go that far: what does a reversed word mean?) however, in the sense of a list of characters, the content is irrelevant.
