Love it!! But you've GOT to improve the sharing feature. This is a great, accessible daily game. Connect it with Facebook, or at least give people something they can cut-and-paste without having to open an email client!

And the information you provide below is good (it provides a bit of "braggy" info without giving the answer away) but I would make it more conversational, e.g., "I beat Dad!" and then "I beat Dad again!" and then "I'm on a roll... I beat Dad 3 times in a row!" and add a call to action like "Can you beat Dad too? Try here: https://dadagrams.com".

The "Dad" emoji is chef's kiss. Definitely keep that in the share message.

For reference, here's the current share message (minus the great emoji, which apparently HN does not support):

#dadagrams14

They're using the "Wordle" share method which worked insanely well, precisely due to the fact it didn't try to share with facebook or anything annoying, you just copy paste into an IM client


That's not correct, based on my experience. Yes, you could copy-and-paste the "results" page, but that contains the answer, so it's no good for sharing. To get the actual "share" text (using Chrome on Windows 11), I had to open an email client when prompted and then cut-and-paste the text from the email the game created.


In wordle when I click the share button I get the green/yellow/black emojis copied to my clipboard showing how I did, but not my guesses were.


weird, for me it copied the sharing text


same on mac - I had to open it in Notes


Thanks for the feedback! Have tried to improve now
