Created in 48 hours, I wanted to try and make a game that could submit data

to Twitter in an automated post. I got the test down but the concept was so fun I had to polish

it and quickly post it out. Sorry if it's a bit unpolished or doesn't hold your hand in some places,

but that's just how life is sometimes hehe x3


The WORDLE mechanic itself is a bit more basic than the real thing. It will still show ORANGE

if you're put the letter somewhere else in the word, even if there's only one of those. It is six

letters instead of five for added difficulty, but you can spam words that aren't real words so the

difficulty evens out. DM me if you have any issues with the game.

I guessed the word right before the third turn, but didn't get the medal, is it caused that it wasn't daily mode?

Unique way of creating a tower defense game, the addition of wordle like mechanic makes it even more interesting

Fun stuff. The tower defense is manageable enough, even if you somehow goof up every guess (provided you get the gems). Only issue I ran into is that the big headed medal didn't unlock even though I got the word right the second turn, both in the daily challenge and practice mode and only have the twitter post to show for it.

Edit: Ok, I got it on the second turn again and I'm pretty sure it's something with the api, maybe the browser which wouldn't make much sense since the other medals unlocked just fine. Strange.

Issue i found, When a letter was green, when i used the letter again, it came out orange, even though it should have been gray

A neat little mix of Bloons-style tower defence and Wordle-style puzzling, even if the tower defence part is easy to trivialise.
