Octordly: Daily Word Puzzle +4

Love the app, especially the challenge it presents every day. However, sometime there are errors in the puzzle. Today, #148, it wasn’t solvable as the first word needed 6 letter. Last week there were a couple of days when two of the words were the same. Small problems with a great game.

I really love this game, and the 8-way Wordle concept is so much fun and such a cool challenge. But this app could use some help. Today I couldn’t solve the puzzle because the answer to my final word was 6 letters long. (The word was AFRAID. I had revealed that the word needed A, F, I, R, and D, but I couldn’t figure out what 5-letter word those letters could make together. Turns out it was a 6-letter word. As far as I know, Wordle-style games never use more than 5 letters unless explicitly specified.) This has only happened once, but that shouldn’t be happening.

It would also be a neat feature if the app could have an area to store statistics. I love that the app has allowed users the function of scrolling through their answers. It would just be cool if we could see, for instance, our average score or something.

I cannot see my score unless I copy and paste into another app such as text messaging.

There are also no settings or at least I cannot figure out where to click to find them.

There is no explanation of how scoring is applied. I’ve found all 8 words with three rows remaining and scored lower than when I found 8 words with no remaining rows. The results indicate some numbers and some watches. I’m just a bit confused.

The really annoying part for me, however, occurs when I’m playing the game and guess a word with a double letter. If the correct word only has a single letter it will still highlight the double letter yellow so I think I’ve got to guess a word with that double letter. That’s misleading and not how the other apps function.

I’ll share an example -

Correct word = NOISE
Word Guess = INNER
This game highlights yellow = INNE
It should highlight yellow = INE

I spent time trying to figure out a word with double N and was going too far off track.

Thanks for considering fixing this.
