Comment on Show HN: I've built a words game based on binary search

Comments

I'm very interested to know why 7 letters was deemed most appropriate, I could not come up with more than 2 words and had to get a dictionary to find.

Maybe I've played wordle too much...

I've tried with 5 letters. After playing some games it was too easy, as it gives you more hints than Wordle on the positioning of the letters. I've also tried 6, but settled on 7 with 5 guesses as it seemed the most balanced.
