I try.
I also enjoy Wordle, but I self-host it because I don't want the NYT tracking my web usage.

Ah, this has come up in convo before. If I just go to the site, with a vpn, don't sign in, what info can they get from me.
Cool that you do the self host thing, though the word is different than what I saw today
I did that for a bit too, when they first made the purchase, then I came across Reactle and it was really easy to setup.
I can't share without revealing the word. It requires HTTPS and I just use over the local network.
That would make sense that the words are different.
I'm assuming both are somewhat randomized as to what the next word might be.
A good opportunity to test it though. Today's, for me is -
Could’ve been a nostr wordle 👀

Nice.
I'm not one that thinks everything should be on Nostr.
Potentially a lot of things, but not everything.
So my question, in this instance, is what makes a Nostr Wordl better than a DNS Wordl?

Connecting to a common scoreboard of people I follow, cumulating stats, etc would be nice
Awww, a social aspect to it. That makes sense.
I don't think the Nostr version had even that, but the friendly competition might be fun.
LOL, spent half the round thinking the colors were the opposite of what they are.
I think I'll switch.

I think some of these games are fun but I don’t like the adds, I do like my current social network, I have no interest in more niche accounts and I don’t want to feed the NYT.
It’s basically a simple app with some nostr integration.
It’s a nice touch that you could run the whole thing locally or via nsite and still be playing the same word as others as there is no backend - if we really had to make it censorship resistant but I don’t think that’s really required yet :)
