That's great to hear!
>Will you / could you add access to past puzzles? That's the first thing I looked for but couldn't find.
Yeah I'm still torn about this. On the one hand, it's obviously a really easy feature to add and allows users who want to play more to do so. And I'm aware that a lot of people really don't like it when daily puzzle games don't let you play through the archive. On the other hand, I am quite romantic about the daily thing. I really loved the fact you could only play Wordle once a day, there was something special about it in an era of unlimited, endless content. I know it's no longer novel to limit players to just one puzzle a day, but something is compelling me to keep it that way.
The game’s difficult to understand so it’s too punitive to not offer even a single practice/example puzzle to use for learning. One puzzle a day is nice once you’ve got the hang of it, but it’s discouraging to “waste” today’s puzzle on learning the rules and not be able to try for real until tomorrow.
