After playing a dozen of daily wordle-like games, I decided to make my own. A Crossle board has 3 words. A 7 letter word takes the whole X axis and two 5 and 6 letter words share the Y axis, intersecting at a letter shared between all 3 words. The column position isn't fixed and changes everyday. I used Datamuse API for words generation. I tried to make the 3 words semantically close to each other, but it's not always shown given how strict the constraints are.

OH also, hints work like Wordle, except for the addition of a new Blue color which means "The letter is in the board, but not this word"

Please tell me your feedback.

That's a great idea! By the way, that's actually one of the reasons I'm currently working on https://wordichi.com/.

I'm going to play your game for a bit now, then get back to working on Wordichi.
