You might not have won... But you nailed the programming and the meme recreation, so in my heart, you won.
There are three major differences between your game and Wordle: 1. The total number of times a letter appears in the target word is an upper bound for the number of green + yellow squares in an evaluated guess (you mention this). 2. The guesses are supposed to be real words, specifically words coming from the list of allowed words on the Wordle site (you can find it in the source code or online). 3. The onscreen keyboard should also show which letters are found as green and yellow, not just grey. They may seem somewhat minor, but they really change how the game is played and thus undermine the purpose of a competitive version of Wordle specifically -- as opposed to a competitive Wordle-like game. Fortunately, they're all very easy to fix; if the code were open source I (or likely someone before me) would have no problem making the changes.

One of my first dev as a kid was making "snake" multiplayer, (on the same computer though, which does make things significantly easier), and indeed there is a lot of fun to have making a simple one player game multiplayer. Caching issues when doing web work are hell… i'm glad i do almost no front end dev for that reason. Nice video :)

Genuinely one of your best videos, love the production value on this one
I loved this, great work with the multiplayer wordle. One suggestion is to adjust the scoring to reflect skill better than luck. Weighing letters at the beginning, especially the first word, so high makes the score mostly luck based. It might make more sense to have the score peak at 3 or 4 and also factor in speed.
Holy shit, you used polling instead of sockets. That explains you having such a bad time with the connection stuff (maybe). Should definitely have used websockets here imo.

Oh man that's impressive! I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but you could have saved yourself on "cinch" if there was an internal real-word check that the actual game has by not letting you input fake words, which forces better guesses.

No shot I did almost exactly this idea myself, I got so angry at live multiplayer that I made it a competitive league where everyone gets the same word each day. Love it.
I haven't seen your videos before but any friend of carykh and SarahZ is worth watching. Subscribed!
Almost everything is more fun in multiplayer, except when they keep beating you.
I saw a few people mention caching. Client side html,css, and javascript can be cached automatically by the browser to speed up reloads of the same files. Usually you can force the browser to grab new files using cmd/ctrl + shift + r. I think that may have been your 2-3 hour upload issue. If you are using another service to manage your dns like cloudflare you could also have caching there as well and would need to put the site in development mode. Less likely but thought I’d mention it.
This video should have gotten way more views. One of the most underrated and interesting things I've seen in a long time. Well done man.

From what I can tell, they work in very different ways! Squabble gives what seems to be the same amount of points regardless of how many guesses it took you. The aim is to go as fast as possible, and unless you use the meta of a multi-word start you will probably loose the game because you're taking too long to think before guessing. This version, to win you need to use the least guesses possible so matches are more slow paced and thinking based!!

seeing you and sarah z in the same video is a crazy ass crossover lmao
I don't think that scoring method is the right one. The main goal of the game is not to find single characters but to find words with minimum tries. if there's a draw I would compare how much time each player took. If each players find the word simultaneously in the same amount of try then and only then you should score on guesses. This game in basically mastermind with characters and predetermined combinations.

Pro tip: instead of traveling to california to get a new IP, just take your other computer and access the site through a VPN. Now, the fact that your code requires people to be on two separate public IPs is worrying, I don't know how you could've done that, and it makes people with a strict NAT (shared IP between multiple households), like people in college dorms or some apartments, unable to play with each other, but networking is a piece of s**t, so I understand if you don't want to fix that. I personally would've just used an HTTP API like FastAPI for all the networking, because while it is technically slower, it doesn't really matter for this case and it allows you to do networking easier, because you just need a server running the API that two clients can connect to, even if the game isn't hosted on a dedicated webpage. Edit: I would also recommend implementing a basic dictionary API to make sure the user types actual words and not just random characters.
I have watched a lot of your videos. To be clear, I cannot do 1 percent of what you do. But, in most videos, you say things like I gave up, nobody got time, I couldn't bother, etc. This makes you look unprofessional. In today's youtuber competition, you cannot look lazy. You have to complete your projects or make them look like they are. That is what will earn you respect, and in the end, subscribers. Not trying to be harsh, just something I noticed. Keep it up.
